<p>UC Santa Barbara is a good choice for you in light of your interests in science, dance & the California coast. Pitzer does not match your profile, in my opinion. Keep UCLA, UCSD (but be forewarned of very large class sizes), Stanford & Columbia, as well as UC-Berkeley, Tufts, JHU & Brown. Consider adding Northwestern University which is strong in sciences, has a dance major, allows double majoring plus a minor, and is located in a Chicago suburb. Emory may offer you a merit scholarship award. Boston College may also be an appropriate choice for you. Consider Penn’s Wharton School of Business. Delete the rest on your list unless you have a special reason for wanting to attend a particular school.</p>
