	I am about to complete my under-graduate studies this spring
in Physics (I have only 1 quarter of classes remaining) I would like
to continue my studies in a graduate school, possibly trying for a Ph.D.
in either Optics or Solid State Physics, or a combination of the two;
it's a little early for me to decide.

What I would like to know is this:
What schools have good programs in the aforementioned areas?
[i.e. where's the funding going now?]
What kind of tests or courses will I need as pre-requisites?
Where can I write/look for more information or answers to these questions?

If anyone has any information that they suspect may be even slightly
useful to me would they please write to this electronic address or
my work address - it would be greatly appreciated.
