<p>Well, I'm looking to major in physics. Does this list look okay? Also, can anyone recommend some reaches? I'm feeling like I could aim a little higher, but I don't know. Not like impossible ones, but stretchs. My final pick will probably come down to financial aid. Thanks</p>

<p>Since you’re from Texas, you should probably pick one of the state schools as a backup, maybe UT Dallas, Texas Tech, or U of H? And have you considered Rice? I have a friend whose son went to TAMS and was accepted at Rice with very good financial aid. You do have very good stats to try for some stretch schools, including Rice. Sorry, I don’t know much about the specific “ratings” for physics schools.</p>

<p>You won’t get any aid (except Federal) from UMich. Are you low income for FA or actually looking for Merit Aid?</p>
