[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't CMU have one of those "where fun goes to die" reputations? With a 4% acceptance rate to their college of engineering, and 25% or more of their students university-wide with SATs over 1560 and ACT of 35/36, it's just not an option for most people. Pitt is easier to get get into than VA Tech and Maryland, but it also attracts plenty of students who are better than "middling" and they have a pretty high threshold for merit consideration. [/quote] My DC hated CMU. He got in, tho not for engineering/CS (didn't tour beforehand) and then spent a day shadowing a student and doing an overnight. He didn't like the vibe of the school/its students. Full of I Am Very Smart types. He is smart but likes to have fun and be social and he knew that CMU would NOT be a good fit. (He ended up at WashU). [/quote] My DC fits this description as well, and hated CMU during the tour for the same reasons.[/quote]
