I’ve spoken to lots of people at CMU when I was an pre-college and a few students from my high school…and no one ever described CMU as cut-throat. No one- -everyone works together on problem sets which is very attractive.

The consistent feedback and reputation seems to be that CMU CIT and SCS have an excessive amount of work - so much so that it’s actually painful and no one ever gets sufficient sleep – all nighters seem frequent
This scares the Shizzles out of me…but I hear that you are working with your peers together to get all this work done- it’s not a kill everyone for the curve kind of deal.

I hope some current students weigh in on this…
