<p>Go to MIT/Caltech or something already, you incredibly accomplished student, you.</p>

<p>Obviously, MIT, Princeton, Harvard and CalTech are awesome, but they are reaches. Schools that are amazing in Physics and a little more reasonable in terms of admissions are Cal, Chicago and Cornell. Since you are most likely a respident of Michigan, definitely apply to the University of Michigan as it is top 15 in both Physics and Astrophysics.</p>

<p>MIT, caltech, maybe georgiatech and virginia tech but i dunno about the last 2. i think stanford is good 2</p>
