<p>I wanted some colleges that are good at most everything. I'm interested in a lot of things including business, engineering, economics, and biology. What is a good school in these fields? So far I'm looking at:</p>
<p>Harvard
Stanford
Carnegie Mellon
Columbia
Uchicago
Upenn
UVA
NYU</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me about these colleges? Is this a good choice for me?</p>
<p>SAT: 2350
GPA: 3.9 UW
Rank: 12/300+
SAT II: all above 700+ so far
Great essays
Great recs
Good E.c's</p>
<p>All I can say is that NYU is not strong in all areas. They do not have an engineering program, for that you have to take all the engineering courses at Stevens. Columbia does not have engineering. Well, if you apply you have to specify if you're applying for the college (humanities, math, science, economcs) or for the college of engineering.<br>
Some public universities are very good when it comes to being well-rounded. Look at UCLA, UCBerkeley, UMich-Ann Arbor.<br>
That's all I can think of right now. You look extremely qualified for most schools so I bet you will do fine anywhere you go.</p>
<p>In which state do you live? Chicago and NYU don't have engineering. Cornell University is very strong in all the areas you mentioned.</p>
<p>You're probably in at Carnegie Mellon, UVA, and NYU. The rest you have great chances.</p>
<p>Columbia has engineering, but not undergrad business. Chicago has neither engineering nor undergrad business. Harvard and Stanford don't have undergrad business. Harvard has engineering, but I think it's a rather small program. A lot of the top private universities don't have undergrad business, even if they do have very prominent graduate business schools (Harvard, Dartmouth, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, etc.). These colleges seem to be telling you that it's preferable to get a degree in some other subject, and then go into business at the graduate level.</p>

<p>Thanks. for CMU and NYU though I'm applying to their business schools Tepper and Stern.</p>
<p>For Columbia/Uchicago/Stanford/Harvard I'd probably go in as an econ major and see what I want to do from there. </p>
<p>Should I apply to UC's even though I'm out of state? Also I want to work on the east coast after I graduate and not many ppl have heard of any west coast colleges except Stanford.</p>
