<p>Maybe I missed it, but has anyone mentioned the University of Rochester yet? UofR is strong in science and also has a well regarded PolySci department, from what I understand. It also has an “open curriculum” with no real general ed requirements, which makes double majoring more feasible. Plus, since it’s D3 and has a great music school, you can more easily continue to pursue your athletic or orchestral EC’s than some other schools. </p>
<p>It’s expensive, but with your stats, you will probably get some merit aid.</p>
<p>May be worth a look.</p>
<p>Here are the top 10 universities in the US for Ag/food related majors…things like Resource Economics, Food Science, Ag and Biosystems Engineering(often dealing with environmental and food systems…Land and Water Resources Engineering, Bioenvironmental Engineering, Biorenewable Resources Engineering, Food Engineering). Most are land grant schools with large selections of majors to choose from.</p>
<p>Most Ag Engineering programs will have a 100% employment rate with generous starting salaries (better in both areas than env science)</p>
<p>Ag and Biosystems engineers might design and develop systems to…
Maintaining air quality, a secure food supply, and clean water.
Develop methods to improve and protect water and soil quality.
Implement innovative ideas to improve the quality and safety of food.
Create systems that create and utilize biorenewables and biofuel (turn food waste into fuel).</p>
<p>University of California, Davis
Cornell University
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Iowa State University
University of California, Berkeley (UCB)
Oregon State University
Purdue University
Texas A&M University
Ohio State University</p>
<p>With your stats, Cornell is a possible first choice. If you get CA or TX residency, go for those.Most will be matches or safeties.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the Ag and Bio Engineering program at Davis.

<p>I will add, I don’t think env science or environmental engineering is what you are looking for in a degree program. Ag Engineering sounds like a much better fit with env engineering a distant second.</p>
<p>Lehigh – as a match. Many of the State Schools that have Engineering might be good safeties. I think UConn or Maryland would fit the bill, for example.</p>
