[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deep in the last century, I got into Carnegie Mellon engineering after getting decent (not great) grades at a good (not great) public high school in Pittsburgh. My teens are technically minded but I recognize that they have little chance of getting into the same school. Getting decent grades at a decent public high school in our area simply isn't going to get them in. The stakes are higher, the competition is much much tougher and Carnegie Mellon, like a lot schools, is drawing from a much larger pool of applicants. The US has a large share of the most desirable schools on the planet. Yes, more Americans are applying to American colleges than a generation ago. That probably goes triple for the rest of the world. And all of these kids are smarter than I was. And then there's the cost of going to Carnegie Mellon in 2023.....yeah, that's not going to happen.[/quote] +1[/quote]
