Where should I apply

I’m an international student from Southeast Asia

My stats are 1540 SAT, 35 ACT, 800 SAT2 Math Level 2, 770 SAT2 Chemistry, and 117 on the TOEFL.

I have some activities that I dedicate a lot of time to, for example, I am the President of my school Math Club.

I want to study environmental studies/ data science.

What schools should I apply to? It would be great if you can give me calibers: safety // match // reach.

What can you pay each year? Any particular area in the US? Do you want to be near a big city for traveling home or is rural ok?

For ES, look into Bowdoin, St. Lawrence, Hamilton, Middlebury, Colby, Hobart & William Smith, Allegheny and Eckerd. Depending on the full aspects of your application, these schools might include about half matches and half reaches.

Regarding data science on an undergraduate level, you can approach this interest through computer science and math departments, so look for colleges with strong offerings in these areas.

@Gumbymom I can pay 40k / year. Would be nice if it was some more liberal parts of the US. Rural is totally fine, although I do like suburban areas better! Thanks in advance for the help :smiley:

@merc81 Thank you! I love LACs too so that’s great!

You might want to check out the Claremont Consortium especially Pitzer and Claremont McKenna colleges. There are 5 colleges that comprise the consortium and you can take classes at the different colleges. CMC has the data science major and Pitzer would have environmental studies.
