<p>I was looking at schools such as Stanford, Caltech, WashU st. louis, Berkeley, and Chicago…but I decided that it would be better to find some less known schools which have extremely good programs in the field I’m interested in–not to say that those previously listed don’t have them. I’m very passionate about microbiology, developmental biology, and biochemistry. Suggestions of schools would be very much appreciated!!! :)</p>
<p>How about Wisconsin?</p>
<p>Pittsburgh, SUNY Stony Brook, Illinois, Washington and Florida</p>
<p>There is some application and admissions overlap between WashU and Rhodes College in Memphis. At Rhodes we’ve got biochem and molecular biology.</p>
<p>I second Wisconsin-Madison. They are the golden standard for microbiology if you ask me. </p>
<p>Harvard and Stanford are amazing in all things Biology. Johns Hopkins is an obvious choice too…as is WUSTL.</p>
<p>NC State has a great program with really cool professors. I know many of the people in that department and I’m not even a micro major. There are also good opportunities for undergraduate research because it is one of the smaller departments in the college.</p>
