My kids didn’t apply but heard they’re more merit based than elite schools. Just apply.

All of them, but especially the job market advantage.

Any official stats of their graduates’ placements?

Not sure anything official. Just from my personal knowledge, its placement is as good as CMU SCS, including top quant trading firms, AI engineering, and FAANG type SWE jobs. I believe its placement is as good as any college not named MIT.

OP - Did ur kid win the "turing scholar" award?
Share ur DC's stats, then pls - otherwise..stop wasting folks time (including mine here)

Yes, advantage in the job market. They have a much easier time with freshman summer internships, especially locally, and that snowballs. Of course selection bias is in play, but that's always the case.
