@mamag2855 I didn’t even know that existed to be honest
I knew of Washington & Lee but I didn’t know there was another school like that in Virginia, thank you for the suggestion. I also looked at the others but those campuses in particular feel like they’re in the middle of nowhere (I was at Dickinson for an entire summer a few years ago) and, I don’t want to sound to arrogant, but a lot of them are below my matches (not all of them, Lafayette looks good but Geneseo, I’m assuming is SUNY, not a very viable option). But thank you for the suggestions, I’ll keep them in mind.
@EyeVeee My only special hook is my current internship at a very well known lab, otherwise they’re pretty mediocre. I’m just a lot better at standardized tests than everything else (I forgot to mention National AP Scholar), so I was hoping my SAT would make up for my GPA in particular. I just wanted to be realistic so I was aiming at the 20-40% acceptance rates, making schools like Swarthmore and Amherst a difficult reach for me.
Thank you all for the suggestions, I took them all into consideration and I added a fair amount of these schools to my list. I am still open to more suggestions and advice as to where to look next.
