UMich or CMU for math major?

[Anonymous]

financials aside, which school for math? likely pure math focus, and likely go onto Master or PhD.

Both are more than good enough. This is dumb thing to try to hyper optimize.

Both great schools and programs. Go with the one that DC thinks has better overall vibes.

CMU

Why are there 3 CMU related threads on page 1?

Because CMU RD came out last night.

CMU and UMich are very different schools. Size alone makes them very different. Visit both and see which your student likes better. Academically, both are great

Does this kid have an instate option? I wouldn't spend $85k year for math at either Michigan or CMU.

Why not? I thought math is becoming really popular now, and the math kids could go into quant and make big bucks (either out of undergrad, or MS/PhD)?

That was an unexpected name. I live in Minnesota. How do people in the DMV even know these small schools out here in farmland? Too funny
