<p>I think some trolls are just making new accounts and asking for constant CS chance threads. How stupid. This is like the 10th one I've seen from a 1-poster.</p>

<p>^Yep.</p>

<p>But, if this is for real, Carnegie Mellon.</p>

4

<p>CMU is a tough school, but with some work, I'm sure it's possible. </p>

<p>(Are you and the OP the same person?)</p>

<p>I made a new account today because I forgot the password into the illinieng one and then when I used firefox instead of IE it was already logged in. I am gonna just stick with this account to avoid any confusion. Sorry about that.</p>

<p>Some schools that have both economics and computer science as highly ranked programs include; Columbia University, University of Maryland College Park, University of California San Diego, University of Texas-Austin, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cornell, Princeton, Brown, and Yale. Pretty much every uber-selective college has excellent economics and computer science programs.</p>
