  • Location/Region: Rural/Small Town in Colorado.

  • Major: Biochemistry/Environmental Sciences/Climate & Sustainability

  • GPA/Test Scores:

4.422 W / 4.0 UW
1/230 class rank
35 ACT (36 w/ science superscore)

  • Curriculum:

  • Size: I’m fine with any size. Academics are my preference.

  • Costs: Applying for financial aid, looking to spend before student loans around 20K a year at max. I qualify for around 6K in FAFSA so the rest would be out of own pocket.

  • Schools You're Currently Looking At: Ivies, Stanford, BU, UMich, Northwestern, Northeastern, Duke, Rochester, Reed, WSU, U of O, CU Boulder

  • Additional: Strong democratic tendency + LGBTQ friendly.

  • Be Detailed! I need to find schools that are middle of the road and provide strong need-based aid. I have a twin who will be attending college and FAFSA does not accurately share that at schools where CSS is not accepted. I’m open to LACs, only requirement being I do not want to go to the south, prefer active LGBTQ+ scenes, democratic leaning institutions, and that’s about it! I love city vibes such as Seattle and NYC.
