I am definitely able to afford Carolina since I’m applying in-state. My question is: how strong is UNC’s physics and astronomy department?

Considering I have a 26 ACT, 4.8 W/3.8 UW GPA, and adequate ECs, which other astrophysics colleges should I be looking at? I am an international student on the verge of becoming a permanent resident.

Thanks.
