College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey everyone, I'm going to be a senior this year, so obviously I'm really confused about all these colleges and everything, so I was wondering if you guys could suggest some colleges for me to look into. My stats aren't stellar, but they aren't too bad hahah.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 W, ? UW
Rank: 20/174
SAT: CR 610, M 520, 590 W (definitely retaking, haha)
I'm taking the most challenging courses at school, all honors including 2 AP's.</p>

<p>I'm going to study biology, so basing that on my search is tough since basically all schools have a bio program. So what I'm really looking for is location. Preferably a big city, but close to one is fine too. I visited BU last week and fell in love with it(as most do, haha) and I guess I'm looking for something like that. BU is my first choice and obviously a reach for me hahah. Oh, and preferably east coast. But I'm open to all suggestions!</p>

<p>BU's amazing. With your stats, it looks like a match/slight reach actually. </p>

<p>But uh, I'm not too familiar with the East Coast colleges with strong bio programs. If you're willing to go out of state, you can try UCI and USC.</p>

<p>yea for bio the west coast would probably be best</p>

<p>Some to possibly look into are Suny Stony Brook, Providence, Loyola (Md), Goucher and Towson (both in Baltimore suburbs), Northeastern, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Fordham and Manhattan.</p>

<p>Cool, thanks everyone. </p>

<p>Yeah i wasn't too sure about west coast, the traveling back and forth would be a little pricey, but who knows! i'll definitely do some research ahhah.</p>
