Rat has a birthday

Happy birthday, ratontheroad! I hope the rest of your SF birthday adventure went/is going well.

Colleges

Because I'm not going to Reed this year, I'll get my GED this summer, retake the SATs in the fall, and apply to a variety of colleges next year. I'll probably apply to several in the Bay Area, because that's where I'd really like to live, but I know that finances may not permit that, so I'm looking in other areas as well. I'm going to major in psychology. Pluses: liberal arts, small size, research focus, co-ed, in or near a city, East or West Coast. I'd like to start looking now so as to allow time to take courses or complete other college-specific requirements.

Any suggestions?
