I'm just curious, I'm making a list and all that.

I intend to major in Psychology (clinical) and/or double major in some of the following:
Optometry
Pharmacy (not a technician)
Biology
Creative Writing/Screenplay etc.

Any suggestions?

I do want to go to a fairly small school, 5,000 or less, but in a fairly suburban area. I've been eyeing Tufts and others.

Liberal arts just means one major hasn't been popular enough to classify the school as something else, like a business school.

I go to Gettysburg College, and I love it. http://www.gettysburg.edu. I also looked at Lafayette, which was beautiful, Carnegie Mellon which is also gorgeous, and Bucknell which I absolutely hated.
My cousin goes to Tufts and she really enjoys it.

If you want to go into psych you should go to a bigger uni that has research opportunities.

Well, as far as the northeast goes...

Check out the Ivies if your grades are in good condition, but other (mostly smallish) schools that are really well known either in those fields or just in general liberal arts majors: Williams College, Providence College, Amherst, Smith (female only Undergrad), Hampshire, Boston College, Tufts, Union, Colgate, Bowdoin, Haverford, and Ithaca are all good ones to at least look at.

I'd agree with the poster above though... large universities, either rich Private schools or large, well-known public colleges are the best for those looking to do serious undergraduate medical or psychology research. You're not necessarily going to have a better chance of attending med-school or graduate school as a result, but it'll give you a better iea of what lies ahead... at least in my opinion.
