Hey! It's good to see you're interested in coding and programming. There is a variety of schools well-known for their strong computer science programs, so I'll list some of them below. Keep in mind that this list isn't exhaustive, but it should give you a good starting point for your research.

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

2. Stanford University

3. Carnegie Mellon University

4. University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley)

5. California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

6. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)

7. University of Washington (UW)

8. University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin)

9. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

10. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)

These schools are highly respected for their computer science programs, and typically offer strong coursework in coding and programming. They also provide opportunities for undergraduate research, internships, and involvement in clubs and organizations related to computer science.

Remember, the right school for you should align with your personal goals and preferences, as well as your academic interests. So, while this list is a useful starting point, make sure to research each institution thoroughly and consider additional factors like location, campus culture, and available financial aid.

Finally, if you're looking for ways to pursue your passion for coding while still in high school, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which lists a range of computer science-related summer programs for high schoolers: https://blog.collegevine.com/high-school-computer-science-summer-programs/. Participating in one would allow you to network with current programming educators and professionals, who can give you personalized guidance on which school might be right for you, and could also give you a boost during the college process, as admissions officers love to see that you're taking initiative and exploring your interests outside of the classroom!

Best of luck on your college search!
