How is Penn at Computer Science, Economics, Public Policy (or poly sci), and Psych

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>Hello there! So, here is my "dilemma." I know that ultimately I am going to end up majoring in one or two of the following (computer science, economics, public policy, or psychology). If a school doesn't have Public Policy I would probably do Political Science. My goal is to explore all these fields in my first year of college by taking classes in each of these subjects until I discover what I want to pursue in college.</p>

<p>Thus, I want to apply to schools that are very good in all of these fields. I have good stats and scores (top 1% in class, 2380 SAT, good extracurriculars). </p>

<p>How is Penn with these majors? With regard to the CS major (the one I imagine Penn is the "worst" at) do you think a company like Google or Amazon still recruits there? Or maybe Penn is actually great at CS and I just don't know? What other schools do you believe are good fits for me where I could receive a great undergraduate education in any of these majors?</p>

<p>Thanks you so much in advance for your help!</p>

<p>Shameless self BUMP!</p>

<p>To be completely honest, the Ivys in general are all very good in those fields. It surprised me to see how many comp sci majors at Penn chose it over schools known for comp sci, such as CMU. Penn is also very well known for its economics programs. You’ll receive a great education and many job opportunities in any of those majors at Penn, Brown, Harvard, or whatever other good schools you might apply to</p>

<p>Thanks! What do you know about Penn’s Computer and Cognitive Sciences dual degree/dual school program?</p>

<p>I know that comp sci majors tend to take cognitive science classes as electives, but I don’t know much about the dual degree program (the only thing I’ve looked into with comp sci is the minor)</p>
