<p>I am a pre-med and I will not major in a science. I am looking for a college that has great science and math programs. Anybody know which schools are great in science and math? I am either a business, economics, political science, international relations, or psychology major - I haven't decided.</p>
<p>Can you share your stats with us? Unweighed GPA, SAT/ACT/SATII, Class Rank, AP Results etc...</p>
<p>What kind of college environment do you seek? Rural, urban or suburban? Small, mid-sized or large? Spirited or subdued? etc...</p>
<p>Pure Mathematics: Boston University, Cornell, Harvard, NYU, Penn State, Princeton.</p>
<p>Applied Mathematics: Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Michigan Ann Arbor, MIT, Princeton.</p>
<p>^
I doubt the OP has to worry about pure vs. applied math. For a non-science pre-med, the most (s)he will have to take is a couple of semesters of calculus. </p>
<p>moviefreak- You'll only need two semesters each of intro chem, organic chem, physics, and biology + lab. Focus on the factors Alexandre mentioned.</p>
<p>Is Columbia particularly good for applied math?</p>
