<p>Hi, I'm a junior who's just starting to get into the college search process and I'd love to hear some suggestions as to what schools might be good for me. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Gender: Female
State: NJ
Race: White
School: Public, class size about 550
GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.25 W out of 4.5
Rank: School does not rank
I took the PSAT for the first time in my sophomore year and got a 190 without any preparation so I was pretty pleased. This time around, I didn't really prepare again but I'm hoping for a 215 or better. I'm taking the SAT in January for the first time. I'm aiming for at least a 2000 and then will retake in May.

<p>I want to major either in biology or biochemistry so schools that have good programs for that would be great. I'd like a school that has more of a campus and has a real "college" feel to it. Preferably near a city. I've visited BU and Tufts, didn't like BU (no campus whatsoever) but loved Tufts. Size isn't a huge deal but anywhere from between 5k-15k students is ideal, but no fewer than 5k. </p>
<p>I've visited Tufts and Cornell (legacy w/other connections) and liked them both. I'm going to Delaware this weekend, Tulane in January, and GW (legacy) and UMD in the spring at some point. </p>
<p>Sorry for all the information, I wasn't sure how much to provide. What are other schools I should consider?</p>
