<p>hey, i'm looking for a good college for Chemistry and physics. I would like to do graduate work and reaserch in this field and need a school that can provide this. I am also looking for a fairly competitive University. If you can help me please reply.</p>
<p>Berkeley seems to fit those criteria. Caltech too.</p>
<p>MIT. </p>
<p>10 char</p>
<p>Can you say more about your stats and your college preferences?</p>
<p>Gpa weighted: 4.3
Ap's:Calculus Bc and Chemistry(i feel i made a four or a five on both)
I'm planning on taking Ap physics B, Stats, Environmental, US history, and English Lit classes and the Physics C Mechanics test.
Sat: verb 620 math 700
these are from my sophmore year and i plan on retaking them twice
EC:
Lots of volunteer and missions work through church
Member of church worship band
President of Beta club
ultimate frisbee club
Plan on doing a mission trip to haiti this fall.</p>
<p>i'm looking at UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, U Penn, and John''s Hopkins(NC State as a safety)</p>
<p>JHU is better than all the others in the sciences, I believe.</p>
<p>If you are a NC resident, then UNC Chapel Hill would be a cost effective possibility for you. Duke would be great if you get in.</p>
<p>Northwestern's graduate chemistry program is rated top-10. It's worth to investigate its undergrad program.</p>

<p>Mudd has the highest % of students to go on to get PhDs in Chemistry and the Physical Sciences in the US. (if you want to go to grad school...)</p>

<p>^^ that's because they barely have any students. =p</p>
<p>Far more people go to grad schools from the major universities than the LACs. Per Capita is the tyranny of the small;.</p>
