I havent taken very many ap’s, i took ap biology last year and got a 5 on the ap exam. Im taking 4 this year.
Im currently doing some genetic research with one of my classmates (the research is collegiate level)
I'm looking to major in genetics, biochemistry or biomedical sciences.
Im looking to stay in CA, I like more rural schools, big cities arent my thing.
Any replies are helpful 😊
Here are some schools you can take a look at. I tried to calculate your chances too, so hopefully that helps somewhat.
Pepperdine University - 90%
Claremont McKenna College - 16%
UC Merced - 98%
Scripps College - 35%
Biola University - 90%
UC Davis - 72%
Westmont College - 97%
California Polytechnic State University - 43%
Personally, I think Westmont, Pepperdine, Scripps, and UC Davis are schools that you would do really well at. They have the majors you're interested in, and they all have opportunities for research, especially Pepperdine, Scripps, and UC Davis. If you want to go to a small school, then Westmont or Scripps would be best since they only have 1k students each.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your college journey!
Maybe try looking at UC Santa Cruz
