I love languages and math and I am not sure which way to go. I would like to get some feedback on schools that are strong in both.
My stats are:
1/255
800M 770V
National Merit Commended (will probably be finalist)
Harvard Book Award
Rennselaer Medal
Girl Scout Gold Award
EC-Math Team, Science Olympiad, Drama
Please give me some schools to look at.

I would say that if you don't want to be around people only into math and science (MIT, or CAl Tech) or just in the english clouds (Liberal Arts Colleges), I would try Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Northwestern, or University of Chicago.

Actually Liberal Arts Colleges foster the natural sciences as well, so you can get a pretty broad education there. But seeing as you're more into math, I would probably agree with the schools listed above.

Berkeley definately has one of the best in the country.

Be sure that the university will allow you to major in both language and math; some prohibit double-majoring unless the two majors are related. Some also have requirements that are too strict (or class times which overlap) to make it nearly impossible.
