<p>Applications - I strongly recommend you not worry about what universities have “top biology programs”. At the undergrad level it just doesn’t work that way. Most courses are quite similar between schools, and about 75% of your courses will be outside your major anyway. It is far better to find a school that matches you academically as well as in other factors such as size, location preference (weather, for example), sports scene if that is important to you, urban/suburban/rural, quality of campus, and any other factors that you can think might make being somewhere for 4 years the best they can be. Also finances, if they are an issue. Focusing on a specific subject and the quality of a school in that regard is for grad school.</p>
<p>For your current stats there are a number of excellent schools that have fine biology programs. However, your SAT scores make your chances at Northwestern and Chicago fairly low. It would be much easier of you could give some indication of your preferences on some of those factors I mention. Your list of schools in the first post makes it seem you have no strong preferences, but it really is to your advantage to consider at least a few factors that are important to you to help narrow it down.</p>
