Thanks, I was concerned that they were virtual but my schedule doesn’t have much room with the CS program.

totally makes sense!
Yah - but OP clarified it’s a 4.0 - so whether A+ or A-, they’ve had all As.
@chmcnm makes a great point - UNC just has biomedical engineering but they do have computer science. And their b school is not direct entry.
Tulane also doesn’t have Computer Engineering…but does have Computer Science.
A like school academically (not environmentally) and also a strong b school is SMU. They have ECE - and like Tulane’s B School (Freeman), SMU’s B School Cox is very well known (probably more so than Tulane’s) - and the university (for engineering) is an easier admit.
Just things to think about if CE is really what you want - but at all of these, given your interests in finance, you might set up a 30 minute meeting with a professor/advisor through the department to see ask how your goals (if you go to the Financial aspect) might be met - some may be more ready for that merger than others…

I was just clarifying that some UW scales go to 4.3, and that is why that is their GPA. It seemed pretty obvious they had all As.
I also have a personal pet peeve of people getting too in the weeds of GPAs w/o a scale or profile. A 3.8 UW at one school to another is wildly different. I see so many people with erroneous assumptions - e.g. that UC scale is how “all HS” do it and “none” do a different GPA for a A vs A- etc. 
This isn’t you, obviously, but more than just you read these posts I assume:) I would never assume that an A- is a flat 4.0 personally.

You might find degrees like this interesting. Combining math, CS and finance.

Yes, and some don’t recalculate the high school gpa at all. Wesleyan, for example, says as much on their website.

These are interesting, thank you for the recommendation!
I think if that degree type is interesting, there will be easier gets than CMU and Ga Tech - awesome if you can get in, but a big if of course.
Babson has a concentration in Computational and Mathematical Finance and is a target.
An easier admit would be Stevens Tech.
I’m sure there are more - if you look at curriculums and find out this is more in your interest than engineering.
Computational & Mathematical Finance | Bachelor Degree & Courses | Babson College
Bachelor’s in Quantitative Finance | Stevens Institute of Technology
Thanks, I know of those 2 schools but prefer a larger school with D1 sports if possible.

OK - not saying it’s the right major. @chmcnm put it out and if your goal is some kind of computers and finance, it’s just another angle to check.
Not saying they are right but it seems there are a few with D1 sports.
