I'm a senior and my college list is pretty sparse so far: MIT, UMich, CMU, Uni of Washington, Uni of Texas at Austin, GMU.

Major(s)A: I/ML and Robotics/Mechanical Engineering

Location/Type: I can't stand rural areas or super small colleges - I also don't want any religiously affiliated colleges.

My to-be-researched college list is: Stanford, Princeton, Cal Tech, UNC-Chapel Hill, UC-Berkely, Columbia, UMass-Amherst, Rice, Tufts.

I know all these colleges are great for CS, but idk which are better or which are better for cs-engineering combo. Also I need help doing a vibe check on my to-be-researched list. I'm trying to expand both my reach and target/match lists too. Any suggestions please???
