<p>So, I cut down my original post as much as I could... Anyway:</p>
<p>Hello, there. Will someone please chance me and maybe suggest a few other options for me? This is the first time that I've done this, so please excuse me If Im not doing this right or some information is irrelevant; I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing haha </p>
<p>Here are my stats:
GPA: 3.80
WGPA: 4.71

<p>My plan is to achieve straight A's for the rest of high school. This past semester I found out that I have a benign pituitary tumor that has been messing with some of my hormone levels & has been giving me massive headaches. As a result, first semester was fairly difficult, hence the B's. Hopefully, this semester will be much easier to manage, & my grades will improve. </p>

<p>Current list of schools that have sort of peeked my interest:

- St. Mary's College of MD
- Cornell
- Bard
- Brown
- Oberlin
- William & Mary
- Sarah Lawrence (my aunt went here - count for anything?)
- NYU
- Rutgers
- Bryn Mawr
- Columbia (my other aunt went here - count for anything?)
- Williams
I am aware that some of these are more than likely extreme reaches. </p>
<p>In terms of college suggestions, I'm not religious, so I'd prefer a non-religious school. I also would prefer a small school. I don't really care about location.</p>
<p>Sorry this is so long! Thank you for reading & responding! It is very much appreciated!</p>
