Here's What I'm Looking for...

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I love the way University of Tulsa is looking. If you know about it, that's a school I'm looking for! Does anyone know any schools that are similar? I wish it would get more recognition. Its cheap and truly awesome from what I've read. </p>

<p>If I hadn't looked into Tulsa, I'd say I'm looking for:
- a school with biochemistry major
- internships and jobs
- in a good city
- student happiness is very important to me. I care about things like dorms, fitness, food, etc. all on a beautiful campus
- sports is a must. I've already ruled out U of Chicago
- good research facilities
- selective but not ' OMG IVY!!'</p>

<p>The only Ivy League I've been considering is Emory, but not even Emory is matching up to TU from what I've read.</p>

<p>JHU......strong biochemistry program, good city (I'm biased cause I like Baltimore), Homewood campus is great, seems like there's lots of sports, one of the strongest research institutions (especially biomedical) in the US.....not Ivy, but close.</p>

<p>Emory is not an Ivy League school.</p>

<p>Although you are out of state, if your statistics are good enough, you may look into UCSD or UC Los Angeles. Of course, it'll cost an arm and a leg, but it has everything you need. (Go Bruins!)</p>

<p>ivy league is a sports conference, its just like pac 10, big 12 and any other sports league u have heard of</p>

<p>the above post states all the ivies: brown, columbia, cornell, dartmouth, harvard, penn, pton, and yale.</p>

<p>if a school isnt one of those 8 its not an ivy league. ivy league status isnt debatable.</p>

<p>the ivy league schools just happen to be some of the oldest, most prestigious, and best academically-oriented schools in the nation</p>

<p>They are also very different, one from another, and even have very different origins (Cornell began as a state "land-grant" college).</p>
