Interesting. Is Pomona a research university strong in chemistry? Is it a target for this applicant or a reach? Do you need to ED to get in if unhooked?

For high target low reach:
Emory
Carleton

OP: how do I Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue and Georgia Tech compare to Cal Berkeley? DD toured Cal and thought it was too large. How would their academics compare to U Washington? TIA

Female applicant, chemistry or computational chemistry major, top 10% in a HS that sends 25% to Ivies+. Want mid-size research universities in suburbs or cities but not too rural. Open to anywhere in the country as long as not too conservative, swing states are fine. Not interested in sororities/frat culture and not a big partier. A very social nerd who plans to join clubs (outdoor/camping, theater production, coding/hackathon, semester overseas, etc.). No need for merit/financial aid.
