<p>I am looking for schools that have top comp sci departments, but are also well rounded. I have very diverse interests, but I am also interested in Comp Sci, because of it’s ubiquitous nature and future opportunities. I would like to go into finance in the future, so I would like a overall prestigious school with opportunities and OCR. I would also like to study hard sciences(chem, bio, physics, astronomy, energy sci), economics, finance, and philosophy. So far, I have found UPenn’s Jerome Fisher Management and Technology program, allowing me to study Computer Science and and Economics in Wharton. Additionally, I would gain access to one of the best business schools in the world, gaining all the opportunities and resources available. Penn course catalog also caters to my tastes, but I assume most schools of that caliber would.</p>
<p>Your request is too broad, there are tons of schools that fit that description. Could you add more criteria - location, urban/country/, Greek Life, size of school, hate the cold or the heat, etc. etc.
Then where are you likely to get in?</p>
<p>I mean I have no preference for location, I don’t really want it in the middle of no where, urban/suburban, is fine, like Princeton type is ok, greek life idc its fine if they have, fine if they don’t. Size, I don’t want something tiny, but LACs are fine. I guess I mostly care about</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Quality of program, I want the schools to have highly respected programs in Comp Sci, and the other fields as well</p></li>
<li><p>Prestige, it has to be a prestigious school with great exit opps and and financial recruiting, they only recruit at top schools</p></li>
<li><p>Social life I guess…, but I believe you can find any type of people at any school so…</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I believe I am a competitive applicant for any school so no ceiling on that.</p>
<p>Columbia comes to mind with its core program, as do LAC’s like Harvey Mudd. There are actually a lot of LAC’s, as people have pointed out to me, that are, obviously, well-rounded for undergraduate education, but also have outstanding comp-sci depts.</p>
<p>Edit: UChicago also seems like a great choice</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon, Brown, B.C., Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown, JHU, Northeastern, Tufts, Harvard, Northwestern, Stanford, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Vassar, Wesleyan, Williams, U. Chicago, U. Rochester etc. etc.
There are tons more!
Try using a college search engine such as [College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](<a href=“http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/]College”>College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics) to come up with a comprehensive list using your criteria including SAT ranges, then narrow it down by researching the schools and using other sources (Fisk Guide), and CC.</p>
<p>In terms of schools where all students are required to take a well rounded liberal arts curriculum, don’t overlook MIT.</p>
<p>However, lots of schools will allow you to take a well rounded liberal arts curriculum alongside a computer science major, even though doing so may not be required.</p>
<p>Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, Duke, Penn, Brown, and the University of Chicago.</p>
<p>These are pretty much the only schools in roughly that order of excellence where you can major in Computer Science and still compete for Investment Banking jobs. I would place Wharton somewhere between Harvard and Princeton if you can get into all of these schools.</p>
<p>barrk123…I would not recommend rice, they seem to be more obsessed with growing the school size than keeping the super special rep they had only a couple years ago! a housing shortage and classroom space issues seem to be a problem. (that along with growing the student body MAY strip away from that extra unique types who populated the rice campus) it is really too bad!</p>
