MIT EECS Only Focuses On EE. Agree or Not?

I think that if you get into MIT (or any other lovely school) you should try out a few classes in electrical engineering, math, and computer science, and judge for yourself. If you like two of them, you can double major.

Why are you posting so many threads bashing computer science? It’s a legit field. Pinky swear.

Computer science has countless interesting and useful applications, and many interesting problems in a variety of fields. I am majoring in computer science and molecular biology and math at MIT. My primary interest is using computer science and some math to solve emerging problems in analyzing genomic data. I have not taken any electrical engineering classes, and I don’t intend to. Many of the most interesting computer science and computational biology classes I will be taking are actually in the math department. The rest are in the computer science department. A few are cross-listed.
