<p>Recently inducted into school's National Honors Society</p>
<p>Attending University of Maryland's Biomedical Science summer camp (not one of those "give me $5000 and you're in" deals... it's pretty selective and you get a $250 stipend at the end. How cool is that???)</p>

<p>I was homeschooled for middle school and freshman year, so I've only been at my high school a year. It really wasn't an easy transition; thus, the lack of extracurricular involvement. </p>
<p>Here's the kicker... I think that we're moving this summer to Northern Virginia. Ouch. On one hand, I'm excited--my Dad loves his new job, and I love William and Mary almost as much as I love in-state tuition. On the other, it took me this long to build semi-friendships... but enough with the emotional gobbledegook. </p>
<p>As for colleges I'm thinking about... my family makes enough to qualify for zip financial aid, but not enough to pay $40,000 a year. I have three siblings following down the shoot, so basically, I need the merit aid. However, I know I'm thinking about these schools:</p>
<p>Wake Forest
William and Mary (personal fav)
Kenyon</p>
<p>If I had $$, I'd be thinking about these schools:</p>
<p>Pomona
Northwestern
Columbia (??)
Oxford in England (if I decide to major in English... despite my stinky math abilities, I really think I'd like to be a doctor.)
Emory</p>
<p>Basically, I'm looking for small southern schools with generous merit aid. </p>
<p>Anyone's advice will be amazingly appreciated!</p>
<p>If I forgot anything, ask and I'll add it on.</p>
