<p>You’re right Mikalye, that was a horrible mistake on my part, especially considering I’m aware of the political science, economics, Sloan school, music, etc which others have brought up. It was committed not through unawareness but carelessness…</p>
<p>I think why I still caution the OP is that (s)he sounded rather uncertain of the economics/CS interest and of where the interests lie in general. I’m sure having been accepted to both these schools, the maths skills are at least decent (so I would hope certainly). For someone who may as well end up majoring in sociology, I simply have a gut feel that the broader school might feel most natural. Being fully aware, as others have been kind enough to explain to me, that even the humanities at MIT can be awesome.</p>
<p>What I would rephrase my belief to be is that choosing the more lopsided school without truly feeling you fit in is probably for the worse. For instance, I come from a school where there is no uniform student culture – it’s so incredibly spread out, and so there’s really no question of not fitting in. So while it’s great if a clear answer exists, I think in the case of ambivalence, one must have a choice where to err.</p>
<p>That’s really all I have to say, and my gut feel could be wrong of course.</p>
