<p>I'm looking for a college, preferably on the East Coast, that has a good marine biology program, and a good mathematics/computer science program as well. If anyone knows of such a school, please let me know.</p>
<p>What can your family afford? What are your stats?</p>
<p>As far as what my family can afford, Ivy League and MIT are probably out of the way. But other than that, I have a 30 ACT composite (haven’t taken SAT) and a 3.8 GPA with 15th in class rank.</p>
<p>Oops. Forgot to mention 15th was in the top ten percent.</p>
<p>Take the SAT and then you can be a little more realistic on your school list.</p>
<p>Take a look at Bowdoin for marine bio - they have a marine science center about 10 minutes from campus on the coast. And it’s SAT optional. Eckard College in Florida, is less competitive and offers marine science as a major.</p>
<p>If you can’t afford the Ivies or MIT then you can’t afford many/most private schools. There isn’t a great deal of difference in cost for private Us (some people will debate what a great deal is). I thought of U of Miami for marine biology but it costs $56K/year. Florida State would cost $40K+/year. What is your home state?</p>
<p>Also Boston University, Rutgers and South Carolina. Best of luck!</p>
