Hello Keilana,
Unless you are already in college, I would not be too concerned with where to go for a PhD. I do believe that the University of Minnesota has an outstanding science and engineering college. For anyone, choosing a good in-state college for undergraduate degree is not a bad move especially if you plan to go to graduate school. While in undergrad, talk with your professors in your favorite subject area(s) and they can give good advice for graduate schools.
Personally, I lean toward engineering (I'm a PhD Chemical Engineer) instead of "pure science" but UofM has both!
So, maybe consider choosing the best undergraduate college in your state and start looking at graduate schools that are well known for your specific area of interest while you're an undergraduate.
Good luck. Science and engineering have many rewarding careers.
Good

The best type of school for getting a science-related Ph.D. depends on your specific interests and career goals. Generally, the top schools for science-related Ph.D. programs are research universities with strong programs in your chosen field of study.
When choosing a school, it is important to consider the faculty, the research opportunities available, and the resources and facilities offered by the institution. Look for schools with faculty members who have research interests that align with yours, and investigate the funding opportunities available for research projects.
In addition, it is important to consider the overall academic reputation of the institution, as this can impact future career opportunities. Look for schools that have a strong track record of producing successful graduates in your field of study.
Some top schools for science-related Ph.D. programs include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Harvard University, and University of California-Berkeley, among others.
It is also important to consider factors such as location, cost, and campus culture when choosing a school. Ultimately, the best school for you will depend on a variety of personal and professional factors, so it is important to research and consider multiple options before making a decision

Yale and Harvard have good biomedical programs. Princeton is good for physics related phds. I would also like to venture a guess that schools in New York near some of the bigger hospitals (Memorial Sloan Kettering, Mount Sinai) have good science related PhDs. Columbia is also good as well as NYU and I would say also apply for schools in D.C (Georgetown, GWU) , thats what I did and it will help to branch out your connections.
