<p>I am just starting to think that I might not go into pre med, since so many think they want to be pre med, and then change their mind. Now I think that I want to most likely go into either Math, or Computer Science.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>To make more money with these should I get a graduate degree?</p></li>
<li><p>How much does the undergrad school you go to matter? because I really like Emory, although they don't seem to have the best Math or Comp Sci departments. Could I go here, joint major or double major, and then go to grad school at a top grad school?</p></li>
<li><p>Any input on whether joint major would be acceptable, or if I should double instead? I'm going to start out taking pre med courses cause I'm not 100% sure that I don't want to go to med school, keeping my options open.</p></li>

<li>No you don’t have to as a CS major.</li>
<li>Can you pay for Emory? If you can, by all means. If you’re GA resident, GeorgeTech is much better a bargain.</li>
<li>Well, you can major in CS and take the prereq for premed. In fact, some schools structure their BS/CS very loosely so that students can take pre-professional course of study.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>Companies recruiting CS graduates or interns will recruit at local schools, and may travel to those schools known to be good in CS.</p></li>
<li><p>“Joint major” versus “double major” depends on school-specific use of the terminology. Pre-med is not a major; the pre-med courses can be done alongside any major.</p></li>

<li><p>One of the things you can look for in an employer is one who will pay for your master’s degree. This is reasonably common among bigger companies who employ software engineers.</p></li>
<li><p>Go to the undergrad that fits you best and you’ll likely have the best experience/outcomes.</p></li>
