[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following - DD is interested in Economics and Statistics[/quote]

My guy is starting his second year there in econ and he loves it. That said, they really do believe it's "in the work" and he says there is a fair amount of stress. In terms of admissions, he had been urged by his HS to apply to some Ivies and Chicago, so you have a sense of where he might theoretically have been, but he did not get into any of them. That said, CMU econ is not the impossible-to-get-into program that CS is.

[b]One more thing - the campus is very diverse, and by diverse, I mean it runs from east Asian, to south Asian, and back, with some white along the way. My guy hits two or three of those metrics and is fine with that, but some of the middle-class white families I grew up with decades ago would have found CMU's culture to be a bridge too far, back then.[/quote]

First paragraph right-on, bolded utterly useless and unnecessary.  [/quote]

My white DD just came back from a summer program at CMU and she loved how international it was.  She said everyone seemed fluent in another language and all the local restaurants were ethnic-oriented.  It’s probably not a raucous party scene like you would find at a big state school, but she liked it there.[/quote]
