Colorado student looking for schools in the Pacific Northwest [4.0 GPA, 1390 SAT, <$35k, biology]

I agree that you might want to take a look at the WICHE/WUE schools. I will admit that I am more familiar with the graduate/professional part of WICHE, but it might be worth your looking at the undergraduate part of it.

I think that you will find that most colleges and universities have a leftward slant. I understand there are a few exceptions, but not that many.

What are you likely to want to do with a bachelor’s degree in biology?
