Thank you for your advice. I definitely plan on emphasizing the internship.</p>

I would prefer schools in Massachusetts but I’m certainly not limited to it. The farther the school, the better it would have to be for me to go there. For example, if I applied to Stanford and got in somehow, I’d go there because, it’s Stanford, even though it’s on the other side of the country. However I wouldn’t be so keen on going to the UC schools.</p>
<p>I think we’ll be ok financially because my dad told me not to worry about money. School size don’t matter to me and state schools are fine. Good science/research schools is what I’m looking for.</p>
