Dual Major in Math and Comp Sci @ Tech?

Hi, everybody. This is my first post here. I read a lot of these forum posts when applying, and I figured I come here now that I need more specific help.

I got into most of my schools, but I’ve narrowed my choice down to Georgia Tech and NYU.

Both are offering me enough money to attend, so that’s a non-issue.

I’m planning on dual-majoring in Math and Computer Science at either school. That being said, NYU is #10 in Math (#1 in Applied Math) and #29 in Computer Science, according to NYU’s Grad School rating on U.S. News. Georgia Tech is #9 in Computer Science, but #28 in Math. They’re almost exact opposites in terms of ranking.

I know these are the Grad School rankings, but I assume it has some correlation to the prestige of the undergrad programs.

Which should I favor? Should I go to the school that would provide an incredibly strong Math background with a weaker Computer Science program, or to the school with an incredible Computer Science program but a weaker Math program.

Some other info:
I’m currently studying for exam P (Actuary Exams).
I really don’t have a preference. I really enjoyed BC Calc and APCS this year.
I wouldn’t mind either a job in finances, using a Comp Sci background to create programs that model things, or a job as a Programmer, using Math as a strong background to create better programs.

Thanks for any and all insight and advice!

If you are wanting to be an actuary, Look for actuary preparation programs at both colleges. Some colleges offer that. Michigan has an actuary masters program.
