Help match me with a university (Research, biology, neuroscience, etc.)

I second Questbridge, if your family income is below $65K which I assume it is with your $3.85K EFC. QuestBridge | National College Match: Who Should Apply

I agree that all the schools in your OP are reaches. As long as the net price calculator (NPC) looks affordable, I would encourage applying ED somewhere (If you don’t do QB, which it looks like you should at least based on what info we have so far).

Mercy, Bing, and Buffalo are only safeties if they are affordable, so run their NPCs too. NPCs may not be accurate if your parents are divorced, own a business, or own real estate beyond a primary home…are any of those the case for you?

I second looking at WashU, Wooster, Rochester and Brandeis (run the NPCs). Syracuse and GWU are unlikely to be affordable. If you are interested in LACs I would add Amherst as mentioned above (another reach), and perhaps Oberlin for a match. Both meet full need.
