What are the best (or at least, a few of the top) undergraduate programs for chemistry in the US?

Asked by skwerl88 (532points) February 9th, 2008

I’m looking to go to a US college for chemistry starting fall of 2009. I’ve just started looking at colleges, and I plan on going to visit several soon, however, I need to get a better idea of what colleges to look at.

I’d like to go somewhere coastal, either east or west, while avoiding California (I’d compromise this for a good enough school, such has Harvey Mudd, Cal Tech, etc.).

I’ve also been looking into schools with good law and international affairs programs, and since I could very well transfer into one of these programs, it would be nice to have them available.

My grades and extracurricular activities are good, some teachers have suggested I apply to Ivy League, but I would prefer not to if they were too expensive (price usually isn’t an issue, but the Ivy League could very well be another story).

So far, I’ve seen George Washington University and New York University as my best choices, with Harvard as a possiblity. Any other suggestions?
