That was an unexpected name. I live in Minnesota. How do people in the DMV even know these small schools out here in farmland? Too funny

Why not? I thought math is becoming really popular now, and the math kids could go into quant and make big bucks (either out of undergrad, or MS/PhD)?

CMU and UMich are very different schools. Size alone makes them very different. Visit both and see which your student likes better. Academically, both are great

Both great schools and programs. Go with the one that DC thinks has better overall vibes.

Both are more than good enough. This is dumb thing to try to hyper optimize.

financials aside, which school for math? likely pure math focus, and likely go onto Master or PhD.
