Hello everyone!
I am currently a high school Junior. I will be applying for entrance into college for the fall of 2024. I currently I have an unweighted GPA of 3.81 and weighted GPA of 3.97. I am taking lots of advanced classes next year. I have very strong extracurriculars both in and out of school that are diverse. I am applying test optional. I am interested in Bio, Genetics, Research, Neuroscience, and Psychology. I originally wanted to be a doctor (pre-med track), but am unsure now. Other than the sciences, l like Business Management and Administration. My back up major if I decided against Business and the Sciences is Education. Please let me know what colleges you think are attainable or the best fit to explore my interests.

Hi @Student7of9!
Since you have a lot of varied interests, you should also look into liberal arts colleges (LACs). You can find a list of LACs online.
I don't know what state you're from, but I wouldn't consider both UIUC and UW-Seattle as safeties.
In the area of health it's good to give a look at John's Hopkins although the climate is a little warmer then Boston for example.
