I’m going to be a junior in high school next year. I want to major in something related to the biological sciences.

I have a 3.71 GPA unweighted and i’ve taken one AP class in my sophomore year (all freshman/soph classes were GT, btw). I plan to take three next year (calc, comp sci III, and world hist) and 6 in my senior year (latin IV, comparative gov’t, bio, chem, english 12, and calc BC).

i took an SAT and got an 1860 or 1890 (cant remember). I’m sortof ****ed and i definitely plan to get 2000+ when i take it again. I still need to take an ACT and definitely a subject test. I can give you some EC’s if you want them, but they’re not much and I plan to get more under my belt in my junior year.

I have a few colleges that i really would love to go to, but I know they’re a reach for me (carnegie mellon, berkeley, stanford (?), etc). I’ve had some trouble finding colleges that are right in the middle, that would be perfect matches for me. I’m looking for a place that has a good biology/science field, but I don’t want a place who’s musical/artistic field is crap(im in the marching band and love to play my flute, and I don’t want to give that up). I really prefer colleges on the east or west coast, but right now im open to any suggestions. Thanks! :-)
