Stats/Data Science appears in literally every article about best majors in college. And yes, I did--a lot of my school's Comp Sci people end up in Silicon Valley, but since I was shooting for med school I wanted something data-related that I could carry into biomedical research and into my future career: Hence Stats. Pre-meds in particular tend to end up in Boston's Harvard Med Square (MGH, Dana Farber, Broad, etc.) which is where I hoped to end up as a data scientist--others from my school had done that too as a CS/Math/Stats major.

Personal prediction though is that CS too is going to start ramping up in competitiveness, judging by how every other field went.
