I am looking for a college that is:

- good for math majors, lots of classes to take
- not impossible to get into but still in top 50
- a school that has classes in subjects other than math/science

Penn State University, good math department, top 50, not hard to get into at University Park...

RPI and VT are perfect!

I would recommend Michigan State, they offer not just math but the computational and industrial math degrees. I think its top 40 or 30 depending on who you ask, and not impossible to get into. However, getting a 1400+ SAT and good GPA helps your chances of getting into the MSU Honors College and receive a lot of benefits, including paid research opportunities your freshman year itself.
