Wow thank you guys. Its truly amazing how much I can profit from your knowledge. I am very very thankful for the time youā€˜re taking to help me and I am going through the options you sent me carefully. The financial thing is of course another big obstacle Iā€˜ll have to handle. I think we have some Swiss Institutions, which are willing to pay for a good amount of fees. But its still a hell lot of money.

Thank you for the links! Iā€˜ll take a look at them.

This is one of the best sites to find a lot of info in one place.

If you read this interview, you will note that Harvard, for example, while a great fit for many students, may represent a poor fit for some:

In researching colleges, consider how curricular and subjective aspects relate to your own interests, goals and preferences.

Those who know Einstein wouldnā€™t have difficulty.
