<p>Thanks everyone. I’ll clarify things a bit: “ending up in a job where you concentrate on teaching while doing less research.” is not what I desire. Research is what I plan to do(and I’ll do my best to do it at a top university), and I’m not really attracted to teaching.</p>
<p>I think I made up my mind. I’ll apply to Williams and Harvey Mudd, and won’t apply to Pomona. But I would like to hear some words about Amherst before I make my final list of LACs. </p>
<p>One extra thing about Harvey Mudd: Before visiting its website, I thought that I would either do pure math or nothing, however the Harvey Mudd Mathematical and Computational Biology looks quite appealing to me, and I didn’t see anything similar at other schools. What are the prerequisites for this major? Do they ask for SAT scores in Biology and/or Chemistry? On their website, I found only that they require Math 2 for general admission, but found nothing about requirements in this specific field.</p>
