Where should I apply?

<p>I would like some realistic options for schools. Please provide me with some reaches matches and safeties all generally in the northeast- ish ( a little west or south isn't bad). My main interests lie in life science programs, so these schools should be able to provide me with a good chemistry\bio education.</p>

<p>If I have forgotten anything please tell me! Thank you!</p>

<p>I was going to suggest some UC schools, but then I read that you wanted to apply to schools in the Northeast. I think you have a shot at Cornell…</p>

<p>Are you looking at Public Universities?</p>

<p>I am pretty aware of my suny options but I was looking for more private school suggestions. By the way, I’m thinking of Cornell ED ( low tuition great education MY Dream COMBO), but that is a reach in general. This list will hopefully give me some safer schools to which i have a more stable shot of admission.</p>

<p>How i envy your scores haha. </p>

<p>since you’re a possible candidate for Salutatorian or Valedictorian, i suggest applying to GWU, Columbia, and Cornell. A girl in my school this year (Valedictorian) is going to Cornell, and a boy (Salutatorian) is going to GWU, and some other person is going to Columbia, yet your resume out does their’s by alot!</p>

<p>What is your budget?</p>

<p>Sit down with your parents (or whoever it is who will be helping you pay for your education) and find out how much money will be available. Without that figure, you can’t start to make a list.</p>
