<p>It is early to decide about attending a PhD program, but there are things you could do now to help towards that path. It would probably be better to attend a University than a LAC</p>
<p>Not necessarily, for a variety of reasons. Some of the top producers of STEM PhDs are liberal arts colleges. Professors at top SLACs do research too, and students often foster closer relationships with them than at the large labs at research universities. It just depends on the student.</p>
<p>* I have another question: Will being at MIT undergraduate boost your chance of getting into MIT graduate? *</p>
<p>Not sure. If you look at the faculty members at MIT, it does seem like a disproportionate amount of them got both BS and PhD degrees at MIT. I’m sure it varies by department.</p>
