@TTG Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply to my post. I really appreciate the information you have provided me with and I will definitely expand my research to include LACs and the universities in Alabama and Ohio.
By the way, could you clarify on what you mean by saying “Macalester is probably the most internationally focused school on this list”?
Also, from the LAC list you have provided, which of them do you think are the most ideal for science majors? (Chemistry/Neuroscience in my case)
And I learnt that Amherst is one of the few 100% need blind colleges for international students besides other ivies like Yale, Princeton, and Harvard. I am aware that Amherst is extremely difficult to get in as well with an acceptance rate of 14%. Do you think it would be too much of a reach to apply to it as well?
And one last question: I was wondering if there should be anything different in an application to a liberal arts college compared to one for a large public/private university.
Sorry I have so many questions…I had them piled up inside but I had nobody to ask. I would be really grateful if you could give me your honest opinion.
