If you want useful suggestions – instead of everyone simply throwing out their favorite schools (or selectively chosen online lists that contain their favored schools) – you need to provide your basic stats (GPA, test scores, class rank, APs/IBs/rigor of course load, etc.) and some preference in what you’re looking for in terms of size, location, setting, financial or merit aid needed, and so on.
There are many colleges, dozens if not hundreds, that are very strong in both biology and history and would be terrific options, so you have to narrow it down.
Be aware that Cornell and Northwestern are extremely selective. Over the years I’ve seen cases of people getting rejected by Cornell but admitted by Harvard; it’s not as uncommon as you’d think. Once you dip below a 10% admit rate (or arguably 15%), admissions can be extremely unpredictable.
Academic flexibility is one of the defining characteristics of the American college system. It’s pretty common in the US to have a minor or a second major. Some people even double major and minor or triple major, but that’s less common.
CC does not permit people to share accounts. Consider this a warning.
Though this is a good point, it’s perfectly feasible to double major at a wide variety of schools, even those with core curriculums. AP credits for the basic science pre-reqs (intro bio, intro chem, intro physics, calc) would help tremendously, of course.
Agreed. The history of science and medicine is one of the hottest subfields of history right now.
