Which school is good for BIO/CHEM/AND SCIENCES?

<p>Harvard
UPenn
Yale
Brown
Cornell
Dartmouth
Princeton
Columbia
UChicago
Wash U at St. Louis
Johns Hopkins
UCLA
UCBerkeley
UVA
UMich (Ann Arbor)</p>

<p>Which one is good for Bio/Chem and Science?
I'll probably get 2200 on SAT and 760 Math IIC, 740 Chem, 800 Bio on SAT II
Which one would I be likely to get in?
I know that Harvard would be the best, but can anyone tell me which school is a"science": school?</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>Cornell is known for its life sciences, but I would highly recommend UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>All are giid, please extend your USNWR ranking list down a bit</p>

<p>They are all good.
Cornell is building a new Life Sciences building on campus. And, they had a recent gift of $400 million for life sciences.</p>

<p>Oh somebody better put down UNC, one of the best research universities in the world. Like 60-70% of us are bio and they are constantly updating our facilities. If you want groundbreaking research accessible as soon as you get here, UNC is the place. Ivies and privates, through some of my friends, are more geared towards graduate research, but UNC has a very strong undergrad research program.</p>

<p>Also Wisconsin is one of the top bio and chemistry and biochem schools in the country.</p>

<p>OP,</p>

<p>A lot of the schools you listed are among the strongest in one science but not (relatively speaking) the others. For example, WashU is among the strongest in bio but not in chem/phys (still not bad just not among the strongest). The same can be said for Duke. I am talking about graduate rankings of course but I don't know what else is a better guage. </p>

<p>Harvard and Berkeley are probably the most balanced. The next most balanced ones are probably Mich, Princeton, Chicago, and maybe Hopkins. I second barrons' suggestion--Wisconsin. I'd suggest my alma mater, Northwestern, if you are interested in chemistry since it's among the best in it but it's not among the strongest in bio (ranked in the 20-30th instead of top-10).</p>
