<p>Slight note, might be relevant:</p>
<p>High school and the college search have been messy for me, and a lot of opportunities have gone down the drain over the past year because of my severe anxiety and depression. It's pretty much why I have no science class junior year, why I didn't take the AP exams, and why I switched out of Chem honors. Also may have factored into my extremely lacking extracurriculars. Earlier this year, I was accepted into the Johns Hopkins Pre-College program (summer university) but withdrew, which...while embarrassing, is probably for the better, since that could have gone in very bad directions. The W will not show up my transcript.</p>
<p>At the moment I have a 504 plan, though an IEP is in the works. </p>
<p>Anywho. In regards to the colleges...hm. I'm looking to major in biology or possibly biochemistry for undergrad, so a school strong in the sciences would be nice. ^^; I'd prefer an environment that isn't overly competitive. Also staying away from schools with strong focuses on Greek life. Considering my anxiety and depression, I'd like a school that's good with accommodations for that sort of stuff. Geography-wise, I don't want to live in a large city (e.g. Baltimore, New York). Not interested in anywhere west of Minnesota or south of Virginia. I'd also prefer a smaller school.</p>
<p>So...what would be a good college for me? >< I'm not sure what would "work", exactly, given how much I've screwed up over the past couple years.</p>
