[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Have a high performing engineering kid. Engineering is stressful all around, but Cornell and Carnegie Mellon seem to make engineering much more stressful than it needs to be.

He ultimately chose elsewhere. You can get the same quality education at other schools without the Hunger Games environment that Cornell and CMU are promoting. The deans of those programs are just… I guess I can’t use the words I really want to use.

But the way Cornell and CMU are going about things should give every smart kid pause.[/quote]

Totally agree. Cornell was never on our DD college list. Too remote and reputation turned us off. CMU was originally on her short list, but every interaction we had with the school turned her off more and more. The final straw was asking about co-op experiences and being told by admissions presenter that CMU pushes for students to only take summer internships and finish in four years. That's completely unacceptable for today's engineering students. After getting deferred/denied at MIT, DD decided on GT.[/quote]

Agreed. My DS chose GT as well for similar reasons. Loves it. [/quote]
