Good biology colleges?

<p>So I'm a high school junior right now and I'm hoping to study biology in college, then go onto grad school, eventually working in biotechnology.
What are some good programs that I could look at?
I have a 3.7 W gpa, 29 ACT (planning to retake) at an incredibly competitive high school in SoCal.
I'd like to stay instate, but is there a decent research university that I could get into? Or what are some decent out-of-state or private options?
Thanks in advance. </p>
