Where should I start looking?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a Junior beginning the college searching process slightly late. I'm a white male living in the north east, with my projected major as Chemistry. I generally prefer smaller schools in the general area, but location and size don't make or break it for me.</p>

<p>SAT: 700 Math, 730 Reading, 740 Writing (first take)
SAT II: Registered for Chem and US, been averaging 730 on Chem and 750+ on US. Will be registering for a math subject test in June, just not sure which one I'll be taking yet.
GPA: ~94% unweighted
~100% weighted
Class Rank: I'm going to be on the verge of the top ten, but likely only top ten percent.
Schedule: The most difficult classes available. Four APs this year (Chemistry, Environmental, US history, Writing and Composition). Five APs next year (Physics, Biology, Calculus, Government, English).
Extracurriculars:
Varsity Tennis (9, 10, 11, 12)
Orchestra (9, 10, 11, 12) (Played in a smaller group that did several benefit concerts, etc.)
Chamber Orchestra (11,12) (By audition-only, playing fairly advanced music)
Music Appreciation Club (10, 11, 12)
Ping-Pong Club (11, 12) (Yes, laugh all you'd like)
National Honor Society (11, 12) (Running for Treasurer this year)</p>

<p>I feel like my biggest weakness (aside from some mediocre-at-best ECs) is my lack of any very solid leadership positions. Despite my most valiant of efforts to turn our unofficial frisbee club into a school sanctioned activities, it was shot down after a series of budget failures. The only spot I could really see any leadership positions coming in would be tennis, but our coach refuses to name any specific captains.</p>

<p>With the previously mentioned stats, what schools might I begin by looking at?</p>

<p>Just a little bump.</p>

<p>hmmm, you should try Liberal Arts schools, or possibly schools like RPI or WPI if you want to major in chemistry. I know that RPI has a really good chemistry program! </p>
