Hi! I’m a junior in high school interested in getting a degree in astronomy/astrophysics and wanted to know which school would be the best to attend. I haven’t applied yet or anything, I’m just trying to get more information and do research on the following schools: Florida Institute of Technology, Embry-Riddle Daytona, University of Florida, and Florida State University. Thanks!
UF or FSU because theoretical physics is relatively prestige dependent for PhD admissions and scarce in jobs.
Preferably honors college if you can.
In addition, you should run the NPCs on other universities that your parents can afford (for Physics, Lawrence in WI is a top preparation for PhDs).
