Hello all!
I’m a transfer student debating between Tufts (A&S), New York University, and Wellesley College. I’m a rising sophomore who wants to double major in Computer Science and Economics, and somehow fit in Statistics into the mix (either a special joint major with Economics or a minor).
I do want to go to graduate school, and am interesting in machine learning/data science. While Tufts and NYU have a good programs, I also know that you can take classes and earn certificates with Olin and MIT at Wellesley; also, the “prestige” factor is a factor for me, and I am torn between the CS of Tufts and NYU and Wellesley’s extremely strong Economics department and prestige.
Any input would be welcome.
Thank you very much!
