[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with all the rude responses?

Anyway, it will help if you can give some indications of preferences with respect to class size, geography, and career ambitions beyond the biochem major. Any other color you can lend makes it easier to narrow down potential matches.[/quote]

I seriously don't know what the deal is with the rude replies.
Kid is at least for now planning on medical research.  Western USA.  I'm not sure about class size.  Kid attends a small school and will probably be shell shocked by a huge college.  But kid is also quirky and worried that they won't find friends at a smaller school.  [/quote]
go for a SLAC out west then, below T75. They will probably give decent merit.[/quote]

+1 it takes some time to visit and get a sense of the personality but the right LAC can be a great place for a quirky kid. It has been for my DD (but far from CA).

I'd look at Lewis & Clark College (less selective LAC but gives merit, strong sciences), Gonzaga University (midsize Jesuit), Reed College (more selective/expensive LAC, check net price calc.).

Unfortunately Reed doesn’t give merit based, only need based if that makes a difference, OP. [/quote]
