[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really interesting.  I had several college friends who lived in Pittsburgh, but didn't want to go to Pitt and attended VT instead.[/quote]

It's the wanting to get away from your hometown thing. Pittsburgh kids used to turn down CMU too.[/quote]

CMU is a prestigious private school at the same level as Duke, Rice, Georgetown, and Stanford.  I highly doubt anyone would turn down CMU, unless it's for financial reasons.  CMU is a highly sought after school, while Pitt is considered as an easy safety school for the DMV area kids, who are too embarrassed to go to VCU, Liberty, Radford, CNU, or ODU.

Duke is T10
CMU is not even T20[/quote]

CMU is T25.  CMU is #24 tied with Emory, WashU, and UVA, which is a highly sought after school in the DMV area.  Emory and WashU are also a top choices for applicants too.

Where is Pitt?  #67

Pitt is nowhere in the same class as CMU.

People turn down CMU because it is known to be a super stressful school with a very heavy workload.  [/quote]
