Senior Needs Some Real Help!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm having trouble picking schools that will fit my needs and are realistic for me to get into. Its getting into that crunch time and I'm getting stressed!</p>

<p>I am interested in the sciences (chem, bio and physics) and engineering. I want to go into research later in life. I would love to do some kind of biomedical engineering, or biological engineering. </p>

<p>I am also interested in environmentalism (conservation and sustainability). </p>

<p>Location is important to me! I don't want the campus to make the town. The social scene is also a determining factor to me. </p>

<p>Obviously, I'd like it to be a research oriented university with high academic prestige...</p>

<p>I think I have the stats to get into pretty good schools (check the chance thread I posted).</p>

<p>Some of the schools I am already considering:</p>

<ol>
<li>Johns Hopkins </li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>UNC Chapel Hill (Morehead Cain)</li>
<li>NC State</li>
<li>Maybe University of Toronto?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you are going to think about Canada you might consider McGill which is supposed to be a great science school. What about Michigan? It seems like you could use something a little less selective than Duke between it and UNC.</p>
