Cornegie Mellon? LOL. I think you mean Carnegie Mellon, the school named after Andrew Carnegie in Pittsburgh PA.

I would visit Pittsburgh before you apply b/c I am from around that area and its umm...interesting to say the least. Pittsburgh does not have as much to offer as many of the other bigger cities. I love Pittsburgh for the sports etc, but it certainly is not for everyone...no matter what others say.

I will let others address the statistics.

If you really like it then great. Did you do alot in Pittsburgh when you were there or just on campus? The campus of CM is MUCH better than U.Pittsburgh which is very umm...interesting.

Where are you from exactly? Premed correct?
