<p>I'm currently a junior and I'm looking around for colleges that are interesting to me. I live in Washington, but I am definitely looking for a school on the east coast. I plan on majoring in biology with pre-med. I'm not really concern about how much the school costs so any price range is fine. Thanks for your opinions!</p>
<p>Give more criteria.</p>
<p>Big, Medium, Small?
Urban, Suburban, Rural?
What kind of atmosphere?</p>
<p>Small/medium
suburban/urban
small class size
probably no public schools</p>
<p>Columbia comes to mind, if you have the stats for it. Or Johns Hopkins, if you’re okay with an intense environment. </p>
<p>U Rochester would be good.</p>
<p>thanks! anyone else?</p>
<p>Haverford and Williams.</p>
<p>If you want to get into LACs, also look at Amherst and Mt Holyoke.</p>
<p>how about a safety? these schools are hard to get into…</p>
<p>Syracuse, maybe? It depends on your stats.</p>
<p>are there any schools in california that meet my criteria? because i could go to college there too…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Plenty. Santa Clara, Occidental, the Claremont Colleges (Pitzer, Scripps, Claremont McKenna…), Loyola Marymount, University of San Diego, University of the Redlands…</p>
<p>wow… you know alot about colleges…</p>
<p>Not knowing your stats I just put these colleges into 3 categories regarding how “good” they are.</p>
<p>Reaches.. Swarthmore, Amherst, Middlebury, NYU, UPenn</p>
<p>Matches… Villanova, Haverford, Lehigh, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, Rutgers</p>
<p>Safeties… Temple, Drexel, Gettysburg</p>
<p>(Can you tell I live in Pennsylvania? lol)</p>
<p>wow.. thanks… i think that’s about right… my stats should be about average… around 600 (SAT wise)</p>
<p>so you’re about a B+ student, 1800-2000 SAT range?</p>

<p>i’m probably more of a A- student… probably upper 600’s if not low 700’s…</p>
<p>then aim high, if money’s not a problem!</p>
