<p>I'm a freshman in high school and my goal is to get into MIT. I want to work making PCI chips and stuff at like Intel or Qualcomm. Maybe even apples mobile division. So my question is: What should I major in? (Computer science, hardware, electrical engineering?)</p>

If you want to make chips, you can do EE, and specialize in any of the following:

  1. digital design
  2. mixed signal design
  3. computer architecture (larger chips)

For very large chips, there’s also MechE’s and lots of software engineers working on it (think the IPhone type of projects)
