If you’re interested in Business + Design + Computer Science, the Raikes School at U of Nebraska is worth a look. I know the university in general wouldn’t come to your attention as one that you’d come to the US for vs. choosing a Canadian U, but Raikes is a highly competitive honors program that is very self-contained and has admits a very high-achieving cohort. Worth at least a quick look: https://raikes.unl.edu/ Would also be a lot more affordable than the private U’s you’re looking at!

Tufts has an Engineering Psychology major - not as businessy, but if tech and human factors interest you, maybe something to think about… and it seems like the kind of place you’d like in terms of vibe and environs.

There’s also the Iovine & Young Academy program at USC… but I’m not sure you’d like the urban-LA location, and the specific program is pretty tough to get into anyway.

Good luck! If you like Northeastern, that’s a good one to add to your list - they have a large international student population, so intl applicants aren’t at such a disadvantage as at many others. As you point out, it also has a lot of options for majors and combined majors, and they make it very easy to move between programs, so it’s a great place for students who aren’t 100% decided on a major/career path. Co-ops can also help clarify what direction you want to go in!
