Help choosing Schools to Apply to


Hello,

I really have no idea which grad schools to apply too...I'm a junior interested in particle physics....any recommendations? I know Ohio State is a good program that seems reasonable, and UMich is a great program that I probably couldn't get into....

About me:
Physics GRE: haven't taken it yet, about 700-750 on practice exams
Undergrad: University of Pittsburgh, majors in physics and math, minor in chem
GPA: general over 3.6, physics around 3.5
Research: 2 REUs over summers, 2 years work in particle physics at Pitt during the years
Other: 3 semesters teaching experience (TA)
GRE General: haven't taken it yet, close to 800 on math in practice (obviously), around 650 on verbal, 5.5 on writing

Still a year left, most important thing to improve?
