[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Harvard and my uncle is a professor at MIT.

MIT is the Harvard of engineering.  If you can get in to MIT, you go there.  Your Ivy choices are sub par.  Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, etc. are better choices than the Ivies for engineering, if he can't get into MIT.  It is foolish to insist on an Ivy for the sake of an Ivy, for engineering.

The only problem is, how does an HS kid know what he wants to major in?  What if he can't hack it after enrolling?  And are HS kids not allowed to change his mind about his future and the rest of his life after the cutoff point of enrolling in college?  I can't imagine going to MIT and then having to change to sociology because engineering is too hard.  No wonder kids kill themselves at a higher rate there than at ivies.  Not worth it.

This is exactly why as a high school senior I went to an Ivy and not MIT (was accepted to both). I wanted options of engineering wasn’t for me, but nowadays you can have a pretty good idea about what it will be like since all high schools are STEM. My high school didn’t even have programming [/quote]
