Any college recommendations?

I'm a sophomore in high school (10th grade) , and my parents have started taking me around to look at colleges (they wanted to give me an early start.) I'm kind of undecided of what I want to do but it's down to: some sort of bio/chemical/medical (or a combo of the three) enginerring, nanotechnology, or some type of robotics. I have a great passion for biology, and am taking chemistry 1 this year, and love it, and I like imagining and creating somewhat simple robots (with Legos :o).

Here's my profile:

AP European History - Solid A (Highest level available)

Honors AE Chemistry 1 - Solid A (Highest level available) (I have been in the Gifted Program since 2nd grade)

Honors English - High A (Second highest to pre-AP English - both worth 4.5)

Honors Math 1 - Low B (Highest Available - worth 4.5)

Spanish 3 - High A

Other assorted electives - photography, wind ensemble (I play tenor sax, wind ensemble is highest level of band)

I'm also in marching band and planning on joining photo club/foreign language club. I do community service and charity regularly with my synagogue and with my family.

I live in lower PA, and I want to kinda stay close to home (not too close).

My parents have already taken me to Lehigh University, and I liked it. I'm going to Drexel next week, and that's also an option.

My other choices are:

MIT

Carnegie Melon

Pitt

Penn State

U Penn

I took the SATs in 7th grade through a gifted program, and got around a 1200 on the new system.

I've taken the PSAT's twice, one last year as a freshman (I got a 1580), and the second time recently, so I didn't get my scores back.

If anyone could recommend me to any college, that would be great and I would be so grateful.

Thank you!!!

    I always recommend leaving the comfort zone of "near home" and attending a school that will give you not only a quality education, but a perspective different from what you've grown up with. MIT is an excellent choice. Also from experience, I know Purdue (as far away as Boston) and Virginia Tech are excellent choices. Good luck!

    Do the correct factor! Let him recognize should you had something to do with this "object" after which inform him that you don't deserve the entire credit score. It could now not be reasonable to the opposite individual. You could also be amazed it is going to all be a scan, to look should you come by way of

    Since you live in Pennsylvania, looks like you have a good list already. Many of those universities are ranked in top 100, although very competitive.
