What are the top and middle tier physics undergraduate programs? So far, I have for top tier: Harvard, MIT, Cal Tech, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, Stanford and University of Colorado, Boulder Thanks for your input!

Does anyone know if they have a good physics programme?

I'll check it out, thanks. Any others?

Can anyone recommend a college with a good department in each of those fields? Neuroscience in undergrad is hard to find. I don't know if graduate schools will let you take their courses and make a BS degree out of it... The two schools that come to mind with good departments in all three are...

Oh, yes, I am a transfer student with a solid 3.8 GPA.

I am looking for a college with a nuclear concentration in physics. What are the top colleges to be looking at? Right now on my list is Reed College, and RPI. Thanks!
