[quote=Anonymous]I'm just going to be the nth person to say that it doesn't matter for undergrad. My son is a rising senior and for some reason wants to continue the family physics PhDs into a third generation, and that's what I'm telling him. Visiting the departments at a few different schools (of varying prestige) with him didn't change what I already thought -- the degree is basically the same everywhere (modulo availability of second semester quantum/E&M at some smaller schools, but that doesn't stop their students from getting into grad school). So she should follow all of the usual advice about finding college fit (large/small, LA/research, etc.), get good grades and do as much research as possible as an undergrad, and go to the best grad school she can.[/quote]
