I still remember what my older brother told me when I was debating which of the schools I got into:
You might change majors, so go with one with the better reputation, not the one that has the major you want now.
I took his advice and don't regret it one bit. I ended switching from being a biology major wanting to go into genetics to geology to English (which I graduated with). Even with all of those switches, I got the best education I could have.
The point: Make sure the schools you are looking at produce good students in a *variety* of fields, not just the one you are interested in.
