I am about to begin my applications to grad school. I am looking to apply to electromagnetics PhD programs in the United States and I want to make sure I'm not missing any good programs before I finalize my list. I'm more interested in programs that focus on analytical or computational electromagnetics as opposed to things like RF MEMS, RFIC design, or electronics-related research.
I've heard the following programs are good (please let me know if I'm missing any standouts, or if any I list aren't actually good!):
MIT
UIUC
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
Ohio State University
Purdue
University of Texas - Austin
Georgia Tech
University of Colorado - Boulder
UCLA
Thanks!

Thanks guys.
"If you are an international student, here's a note on the universities list that someone else on this forum mentioned: there's a relatively higher probability of getting accepted into private universities compared to public ones, so it's good to have them in the list as well (e.g. Stanford, Caltech, Northwestern, etc.)."
I'm from the United States so I don't know if this applies to me. I have no stats to back this up, but anecdotally it seems that public schools are easier to get into than private universities for US students.
"Yeah, I was also going to suggest Caltech and Stanford. How about Carnegie Mellon?
ETA: Or Cornell?"
I know these programs are highly ranked for EE in general, but I looked into Cornell and CMU and it didn't seem like they had a strong focus on electromagnetics research. If you know of any such research being done at those schools, please point me in the right direction because I haven't been very successful in finding any.
