Which college should I apply for?

Hey everyone! I am a student with a 4.0 unweighted GPA currently, and I am trying to decide on colleges. I am trying to get recruited for cross-country skiing (I live in Alaska), and I want to major in atmospheric sciences. I am open to the northern Midwest, New England, and possibly Canada, but I do prefer the western US, and I also want snow.

Anyway, here is the list:

University of Alaska Fairbanks

University of Washington

University of Wyoming

University of Utah

University of Colorado

Any suggestions/critiques to the current list?

Thanks

This is a great list! But it really depends on if you would rather go to school near home or further away.

I would highly recommend The University of Utah, it's a safe application option because of their high acceptance rate, and the snow is outstanding. They don't call Utah the best snow on earth for no reason!

However, if you would rather stay close to home, then I would definitely consider University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Montana state (Bozeman) may be a good fit
