[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who thinks that only rah rah kids, versus math/science kids, would choose UVA over CMU, that is just false.  Our DC (TJ grad) chose UVA, other grads the same year chose CMU.  The difference was not based on who was / was not interested in math or science - they all were.  The difference for our DC was just that UVA felt more welcoming and more in line with what DC was hoping for from a college --- and from what I have seen, UVA seems more flexible with other courses (DC will have a dual Engineering and Arts major at the end) and possibly less stressful/more like a traditional university campus experience.  Both seem very rigorous for the engineering degree.  [/quote]

What you have "seen" from not having a child attending CMU and it sounds like not even visiting, is incorrect.  CMU encourages and supports students to double major, many even minor.

Agree that CMU is more challenging, and thus for some, more stressful. Don't send your kid to CMU unless they are willing to work -- no one is going to skate by.[/quote]
