I like very much @tk21769’s response, as I often do, but I wouldn’t be too worried about your strength in math right now. If you are strong in math you might be drawn to computational linguistics, but if you’re not you’re not likely to care about computational linguistics. Familiarity with more than one non-English language would be a good thing to have, perhaps even some facility with learning languages.

Do be aware of the number of faculty in each department and of faculty who are cross-dressing in English or literature and linguistics–that is, faculty who are working in both fields and not solely in linguistics.

We could be helpful with more schools if we knew the size you desired, region, aid expectations, etc.
