Which schools can I cross off my list? (Mostly LACs)

<p>SgtDonut, haha I realize that. I have about 4 safeties though (Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin) and might even apply to Illinois if I have time. </p>

<p>I don’t really know what I want in terms of school size. I’ve visited Iowa and Wisconsin and have absolutely loved the vibe of such big schools. However, I feel that I would get a more individualized education at a small LAC. The only concerns I have re: small schools are the social life and research opportunities. I don’t want things to get monotonous and I’d like to walk around without seeing people I know. Also, I’d need a school that has great science facilities and provides the opportunity for independent research. However, since I don’t have the time/money to visit all the small schools I’ve listed, I’d like your input as to which ones would be a good fit for me. That way, if I get admitted, I can visit and feel out the vibe for myself!</p>
