I’m a high school sophomore, and i’m pretty worried about college.

I’m really interested in pursuing a career in Cognitive Science/Behavioral Neuroscience, and I’m a pretty good student. I have a 4.2 GPA as of yet. I consistently get a score of 30-31 in my practice ACTs. This isn’t a ‘chance me’, I’m a bit early for that. It’s more of a ‘rekindle my excitement for going to college after it was dampened by every one of my dream colleges being trash-talked to high heaven on this website’.

For example, I was really excited about CWRU, since I only live half an hour away (I want to stay close to home because I have a baby brother) and it was an extremely good school according to my dad. However, in hopes of finding even more hidden treasures about Case on this website, it has been so brutally vilified that I can’t even consider going there anymore.

If anyone, since a lot of people on here are experts in their fields, can recommend a good university that I can set my sights on and work towards, I would greatly appreciate it
