1. Yes J&W is a top school...try CIA and French Culinary too
2. cordon bleu
3. I have heard that the one in Scottsdale (Arizona) is great. I also had a friend attend one in Columbus, Ohio.
4. Johnson and Wales is excellent! They have both pastry and cooking parts and they have associates degrees and then to get a bachelor's it's very competitive and they only take a few kids who have shown hard work into the bachelor's porgram. I know a lot of people who go there and they love it. It's also located in downtown Providence with lots to do. Also look at the CIA, the Culinary Institute of America, I've heard awesome things about that.
