Pitzer might offer the strongest psychology department of the Claremonts.

3

What about finances. Can your parents afford to pay college tuition or will you be applying for financial assistance?

4

Here are a few other schools to research: Occidental, Rice, and Santa Clara.

5

Where do you live? Do you prefer West or East coast? What is your family’s budget?

6

Isn’t Santa Clara Jesuit? OP specified “non-religious” (though that means different things to different people, college-wise)

7

Technically, Emory is religious & has a school of religion (Methodist, I believe) but a very significant part of the student body is Jewish.

USC and University of Miami check your boxes.
