Well, I'm only a high school student in Morocco, but i just want to know if there any suggestions? I'm studying in a high school branch specified for only math and physics studies.

I'm sure it would be more helpful to him to list suggestions other than the obvious ivy-league schools.

And a lot of the flagship state schools. And U. Chicago.

Honestly, you can Google something like this. US News sucks at actually ranking schools on a scale, but it does segregate fairly well big bodies of schools which are of high caliber, and offer a good pool of potential choices.
