<p>Have you thought about the LACs with great science programs like Amherst, Bates, Carleton, Grinnell, Haverford, Oberlin, Pomona, Reed, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Williams, among others?</p>
<p>I have not looked at LACs that much but thanks for the suggestions guys.</p>
<p>Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?</p>
<p>I second LACs per pointoforder, but your writing score is rather low for most on that list, so unless you can get your score up to 650+ for CR, or have other off-setting attractive characteristics, let me add a few more names:</p>
<p>Bowdoin (doesn't require SATs)
Colby
Vassar (if you are a guy only)</p>
<p>It is easier for guys to get into Vassar, but it's certainly not an automatic acceptance factor. Vassar's SAT averages, especially for critical reading and writing, are above most of those for the colleges already on his list. Definitey still look into it, but it might be as stretch.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the suggestions.</p>
<p>I don't know, I'm horribly distracted by your username. STAAAARRRRGAAAAAATEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <em>hyperventilates</em></p>
