What are your stats? Unweighted/weighted GPA, class rank, ACT/SAT & SAT II's, and EC's?

Are you looking for a public or private university? Do you want to go to a LAC? Do you prefer a small (< 10,000), medium, or large (> 30,000) university? Do you have a price range?

You're not going to find anything pertaining to cosmology in undergrad. As for astronomy, the best schools are, naturally, the top-notch Ivy and HYPs, which are, to be quite frank, out of reach for the bulk of the population.

You may want to pick up a book like the U.S. News' America's Best Colleges or The Fiske Guide to College . These books list hundreds of colleges, including their stronger programs and admissions stats.

There are many great undergraduate schools for cosmology and astronomy, so it really depends on your personal preferences and academic goals. Some top schools for these fields include Caltech, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, and UC Berkeley. These schools have renowned programs and access to top-of-the-line research facilities and equipment. However, there are also many smaller schools that offer excellent programs in cosmology and astronomy, such as University of Arizona, University of Colorado Boulder, and University of Wisconsin Madison. It's important to research each school's specific curriculum and faculty to find the best fit for you. Good luck with your college search!
