I have my heart set on attending a highly selective and rigorous liberal arts college, or at least a smaller school with a strong undergraduate research program. I’m afraid I probably can’t get into my top choices, though. My top schools are: Vassar, Dartmouth, Franklin & Marshall, Barnard, Wesleyan, Kenyon, Carleton, WashU, Illinois Wesleyan, Hendrix, Pomona, and rice. Planning on majoring in bio or biochem, but subject to change.
