I am going to be applying to these schools:

Rice (ED)
Olin College of Engineering
Stanford
Renssalear Polytechnic Institute
Colorado School of the Mines
University of Colorado - Boulder
University of California - Berkeley
Caltech
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
and maybe one other or so…

But the key is, I am applying to these schools saying that my chosen major is engineering. However, I do not know that engineering is really what I want to major in, so I was wondering what the political science programs are like at the schools I mentioned (those that actually have a social science department that is), because that is something I have always been passionate about and would like to major in if I do not take the engineering route.

Rice obviously is the one I am most concerned about, but also Stanford, Cal-Berkeley, and CU-Boulder perhaps since they are more well-rounded than other schools on the list.
