[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely Carnegie Mellon. There is a significant percentage of students on the autism spectrum (yes, I know your child is not on the spectrum), and CMU does a great job of accommodating them. There is a great deal of tolerance for social awkwardness, and students tend to be accepting of other people's differences. Definitely challenging academically.[/quote] OMG no. Not for an anxious kid. My kid went to TJ, which sent a number of kids each year. Word among the kids was that the three schools that are more stressful than TJ are MIT, Chicago and CMU. We visited when we looked at Pitt and yikes! Those were some grim looking kids. Plus, you have to apply to a school at CMU. Not great for undecided. [/quote]
