(i am a senior who’s already finished my college apps- my bf is a junior and i’m hoping to help him build his list!)
Location/Region: currently lives in kentucky, but would like to apply to schools both near home and in the northeast
Major: biochemistry or chemistry
GPA/Test Scores (optional): 3.6 gpa, 30 ACT
Size: looking for a small liberal arts college vibe preferably
Additional: definitely would need an lgbt friendly college, also a big fan of nature so leaning towards a rural area but willing to look at a more suburban area
looking for some realistic reaches, targets and safeties!

if location wasn't a factor, some of the UCs or uwash seattle would be a great fit

#

they're certainly realistic

#

there's also UMich

#

in the northeast

#

unc chapel hill

#

UW madison

#

#

i’m personally biased since i’m going there for biochemistry through early decision but haverford college is worth looking at as a realistic reach

#

it’s a small (1400 students) liberal arts college in the northeast (suburban outside philadelphia), nature-y (they advertise having a 6:1 tree to student ratio, the campus is an arboretum), definitely lgbtq-friendly and known for being strong in the sciences for a LAC afaik

#

expensive but they give great financial aid

#

@tranquil sapphire look at Carleton

#

It’s a slight reach but it’s rlly good

#

82 percent of students at pre med make a med school

#

School supports all students regardless of rank

#

Really lgtbq friendly

#

Really good reputation for lac

#

Ranking (if you care about it honestly this is useless) is at 6th place
