<p>Very interesting–your interests are very uniquely matched! I try not to think of MIT as expressly math/science-oriented, even though it’s a tech school, but given your strong interest in English, I can see why it’s emphatically not for you. ;)</p>
<p>Like you, I ultimately did not apply to Chicago because the Core turned me off. (That, and I didn’t like their rec requirements. :p)</p>
<p>Since your interests are so diverse, I would really recommend you find schools that have broad strength in all these areas. Why? Because your interests can, and probably will, change. In fact, many colleges’ implicit goal is to get you to change your plans and follow newly found interests. Who knows? You might end up disliking your college-level English classes and becoming a total CS nerd. ;)</p>
<p>I am a student at Stanford, taking courses in all the subjects you’re interested in, oddly enough. (I’m glad my plug for Stanford earlier was subtle enough you had to ask! haha)</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what other colleges do you think you will apply to?</p>
