[quote=Anonymous]Engineering at CMU IS NOT similar to liberal arts or Tepper in terms of admissions. Many of the top 30 also have similar discrepancies between departments MIT, Hopkins, Georgetown and so on. I'm not on top of things enough to know which ones allow the discrepancies to be exploited by changing majors but they do alter admissions for different departments. "PP poster on CMU - no it really isn't difficult. Full-pay white kids from central PA who are top 10% in their hs public class and score above 2100 get into tepper or CAS. these are dime a dozen students. cs (and fine arts) is a different story but not liberal arts school, tepper, or engineering (non-cs). it does help being full-pay though from my experience- cmu says its need-blind but they also are very stingy in aid and are poorer than almost anyone in the top 30 (outside of gtown I believe). end of the day - if you are unhooked non-urm, just hit the 75% threshold and you'll get into cmu."[/quote]
