<p>What are your preferences in a college? (size, location, etc.)</p>

<p>Those are some great credentials, and very well-rounded. Your writing score is a little lower than the other subtests but overall I think you would be qualified anywhere you chose to apply. Are you leaning toward sciences and engineering or humanities and social sciences? I think you would be a reasonable candidate for any of the top 15 universities or top 15 LACs.</p>

<p>If you can be more specific about your interests and preferences, the posters on this board can be more helpful to you.</p>

<p>I would rather stay on the west coast, and size isn't a big issue with me, though an I wouldn't want an incredibly small college (less than 2,000 people). </p>

<p>A big problem with me is that I'm not sure of what I want to do. (I like everything =/) I'm looking into premed, but I think anything I choose will most likely lean towards science.</p>

<p>I want an intellectual atmosphere, but I'm not into cut-throat competition. I'm basically just looking to find some realistic options with my stats.</p>

<p>UCs (LA, Berkeley, SD, Davis) and Claremont Colleges (Palomar, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd for science, Claremont McKenna)</p>

<p>also Stanford, USC, U of Washington, Pomona, Whitman, Reed, maybe Harvey Mudd but HM is a little different, you may or may not like it (a science engineering LAC)</p>
