There are lots of good universities of varying selectivity levels in the US. Which ones you can realistically get admitted to depend on how well you do in high school and standardized tests. The most selective ones also want something more, like a high level (e.g. national or large state/provincial level) achievement beyond the most challenging high school academics available to you.

In contrast to the super-selective universities that most replies have mentioned, less selective ones that offer broad selections of academic programs and majors include University of Arizona, Arizona State University, University of Iowa, and Iowa State University. They also offer relatively high level (NCAA Division I) sports, although getting onto the sports teams may be more difficult then at (usually smaller) universities in lower (NCAA Division II or III) sports divisions.
