Thank you so much for your help!

Hey Aria,
I think you'll get more responses if you posted this in the "College Search" forum. I'm eager to see what people have to say as well since this is exactly the question that I'm also interested in. =]

Princeton's molecular biology program is unrivaled. The University of Miami leads marine biology, if that's what interests you.

Most top schools have very good bio programs, as it's a very popular department. You really can't go wrong for bio with any top university/LAC.

UIUC recently completed the Institute for Genomic Biology and will offer many interesting research opportunities.
