I really cannot decide what field of science I want to go into…but the ones i’m thinking about are environmental science, computer science, and biology. I just like knowing how the world works so i’m interested in stuff like meteorology, biology, geology, stuff like that. I don’t want to be a doctor or surgeon, but I would enjoy doing medical research as well. Anyways my stats are:
4.1 weighted GPA
3.6ish? unweighted GPA
1350 sat, hopefully higher after I take it in June
AP Euro
APUSH
and next year I am taking
AP Bio
AP Stats
possibly 2 trimesters of AP French but I don’t have room in my schedule for 3 so I could not take the test.
I live in Massachusetts but my family is from the Midwest so I’m willing to go about as far as Colorado.
I visited UMass Amherst and UNH but the people there felt to similar too the people from my high school. They were all kinda similar, dressed the same, and UMass is supposed to be a big party school.
I visited University of Colorado Boulder and loved it… but I’m afraid it was just because it was gorgeous
I also like that it had so many outdoor opportunities because I like hiking and being outdoors. I’m worried about it’s lowish retention rate though
Visited BU and liked it and enjoyed being in the city, but after visiting Boulder’s beautiful campus it was kinda weird not having a green space
Other colleges I’m thinking about are Michigan (huge reach but my grandfather went there and my grandmother worked in admissions)
University of Maryland, college park
University of Illinois
University of Vermont
Can you think of any other large universities I would like that have good science majors?? And out of what I have said what is my best fit?
