This was posted in another topic, and is oriented especially toward schools at which students have access to abundant research opportunities in physics as undergraduates:
For hot schools for physics, look into Pomona College and Hamilton, which have graduated multiple students who have received recognition by the American Physical Society (APS) as Apker recipients/finalists (the highest award in the nation for undergraduate research in physics) in recent years. Additionally, a Hamilton professor was recognized recently by the APS for his contributions to the field of physics (in fundamental neutron physics) and his mentoring of students. Williams , whose graduates have received more Apker Awards than those from any other school of its type, should be considered as well. Haverford , Bowdoin , Wesleyan University and Reed, which maintains a nuclear reactor on campus for research , also may be of interest. Tech-oriented Harvey Mudd will appeal strongly to some students. For the potential for merit scholarship recognition, look into Grinnell.
