AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the best graduate schools in the U.S. for science and math, highlighting top institutions according to U.S. News rankings. Harvard is noted as a leading school for these fields, particularly within the Ivy League, alongside Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. For public universities, Berkeley is recognized for its strong programs in chemistry and biomedical science. The conversation also clarifies that while Princeton and Harvard are Ivy League schools, MIT and Stanford are not part of this athletic conference. The thread includes personal updates, such as an interview experience at Princeton, with participants expressing support and congratulations.

Ok..So Let's start of with Harvard. They have the best science and Math !
But that's an Ivy League school, so if you want a public school, Berkeley. they are good in Chemistry and Bio medical Science.
If you want to Ivy League schools though, you have Princeton, MIT and Stanford. But, you might also find Cal Tech interesting. They are very good at half of this things.

P.S. I have an interview with Princeton next week. :)

Princeton and Harvard are Ivy League schools but MIT and Stanford are not, FYI. The term "Ivy League" refers to an athletic conference comprised of Northeastern US colleges and universities. MIT and Stanford are great, of course, but they do not compete in this athletic conference.

And congrats on the interview!

OMG True! I just kind of mentally imagines those to be Ivy league even when they are not...ANYWAY. Thanks! The interview was amazing though. It was today!
 
Great! I am glad it went well. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I know! It's not like I have enough things to worry about.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
