I’ve been looking at colleges for some time now but there are probably some good ones out there that I’m missing.
I’m a junior in high school with a 4.6w gpa and a 3.9w gpa. My ACT score should be a 29-31. I’m taking 4 APs this year and I’m taking 6 APs next year.
I’d like to major in Chemistry/Biology and Premed.
What are some good colleges out there that I could be a good fit for.
What have you put on your list so far and why? Do you like city or suburb? Large or small? Have you visited any campuses yet to get a feel for the type of campus you might like? What is the amount your parents are willing to pay per year? With answers to some of these questions, you will get a lot of suggestions on this thread.
I’ve visited University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University and I liked them both. I’d probably prefer a city with a decent sized student body but that is not necessary. My parents can pay whatever is needed.

Based on some of what you have indicated, you might like the University of Rochester.
The University of Rochester looks nice but its pretty far from where I live now. (Chicago).
St Olaf in Minnesota has a solid premed advising program and a gorgeous science building. I think there are around 3,000 students. Your ACT score is roughly the average score there.
College of Wooster in Ohio comes to mind too. Not sure how many students there are.
Many colleges can prepare you well for med school.
Maybe Macalester?
