<p>In-State: Oberlin and Kenyon.</p>
<p>Out-Of-State: The list is too long to write down. What will your SATs/ACTs be like?</p>
<p>I'd agree, in Ohio, both Oberlin and Kenyon are great LAC's though perhaps not as strong in science as their mid-western counterparts Carleton (in MN) and Grinnell (in rural IA, so maybe not what you are interested in). All 4 schools range between 1,500 and 3,000 students.</p>
<p>Someone else mentioned Case Western, which does have good science, and Miami of Ohio. Elsewhere in the midwest you might try Northwestern U in Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis (MO), or Purdue U (IN). Check those out to see if they match what you are interested in and/or your academic profile.</p>
<p>You know, if you are interested in science, you might also check into some summer programs. There are some out there that are specifically for students of color (although its been a LONG time since I looked at those) and others are very science oriented. I do believe MIT has/had one (the Research Science Institute?), Grinnell does, I think Northwestern (College Prep program?) and Washington University did/do as well. Just go to the website of a school that you are interested in and type in "summer program" or "summer program for high school students" (get more specific if needed). If you are concerned about cost, some do have financial aid. It's just a matter of putting in the leg work to find out about it.</p>
<p>MJH is right. Carnegie Mellon, CalTech, Smith, Union College, Grinnell -- all have summer programs for either women or URMs. In most cases, all you have to pay is transportation and spending money. MIT has a program, but the application was due last week.</p>
