[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a family of Hopkins alums and it has changed quite a bit over the past 25 years as they've expanded wholistic admissions, DEI initiatives, etc.  It is not the slog it once once.

It's fascinating because as college admissions have become more difficult, schools like Northwestern, Duke, Cornell have become more of a grind (full of geeks), others like Chicago and JHU have become less so. Now they're all very similar---they've met in the middle if you will.

I don't know much about CMU or where it currently stands on the grind scale.  [/quote]

CMU has gotten worse if anything.  During the mid-late '00s the administration went on a rampage and kicked most of the fraternities off campus.

The biggest problem is that students have very little to look forward to in the short term.  The party scene is abysmal and you get maybe 100 people showing up at football games.  When you combine that with busting your ass day in, day out to not even break 3.0 it's very difficult to stay motivated.[/quote]
