school suggestions?
Hi all! Im a rising senior and this whole looking for colleges thing is rly overwhelming because there's so many things to take into account, and even then when i look up the school i find many people saying that they hate the school and that they regret going there. For context, i was rly set on going to UW but i did research and found that a lot of people didnt like it because of the weedout courses. I want a school w minimal weedout courses and one that i have a solid chance getting into. I wanted to go out of state for college but honestly at this point I'll take anything.
Im a hispanic/latino woman. I want to study neuroscience, psych, and/or criminology. Im in la california. Im a 3.06 gpa student 💀 but my uc (W/capped) is 3.4. Ive would have taken 3 aps by the time i graduate (for reference, i go to an extremely small school that has 2 honors classes and idek how many aps, last year we had 7 but they took away half of them for my sr year). Ive taken 1 college course (psychology 101). idk if this would count as taking a college course since it would be to fill a requirement but i have to take health as a college course. I only have 1 ec which is swim bc 1. There isnt a lot of ecs at our school 2. My parents said i cant do ecs cs i cant keep up my grades💀. Ive fostered kittens twice, once in 2020, once this year.
Sorry if this doesnt make sense 🧍♀️thank you if you took the time to read this :)

I'd say look state schools both in your state and surrounding states. Many state schools from neighboring states also offer regional tuition and competitive tuition.

Have you thought about UVM (University of Vermont)? They have an attached hospital and med school for a neuroscience path! They also are a very chill and relaxed campus culture while mainting a great reputation.
