Grad School Apps

Hi all,
If anyone reading this would like to comment on the graduate programs I am examining, please do so in the comments. I am interested in statistical/continuum mechanics, particularly fluid dynamics, colloids, and granular media. I am willing to come at research from the fields of math, physics, or oceanography. Here are the programs I am considering at the moment:
Physics: Duke, Brandeis, UMass Amherst, UChicago, NYU, Clark, Emory, Georgetown U
Applied Physics: Harvard
Mathematics: RPI, NCSU, NYU
Applied Mathematics: Columbia, Brown, NJIT (mathematical sciences, joint program with Rutgers)
Oceanography: MIT-WHOI, looking for another

I want to get this down to 5 math programs, 5 physics, and up to 2 oceanography to actually apply to.
