Best Physics Colleges?

@Pokemonforever

Beyond your GPA, what are your other stats? What science classes will you have completed by graduation? What will be your highest level of math completed? Do you have any test scores? Do you think your ACT score will be above 30? (Have you taken a practice test and have a ballpark idea?) Do you have any accomplishments outside of the classroom, a job, or ECs that you will include on an application?

And what is your father’s income?

Schools which provide the best need-based aid are going to be extremely competitive. They are also going to want your dad’s financial info.

The answers to those questions should impact your list and whether or not top competitive schools are a realistic goal. If they are and your father’s income is low, they could be cheaper than other options. The main objective should be to make sure you cover all your bases.
