“I know that Carnegie Mellon also has a good reputation for math, and I like how I could really garner the depth that I want through their having no core classes and instead allowing students to go very deep into their chosen subject area. My one concern is similar to that with MIT in that I’m just wondering whether Carnegie Mellon will be too engineering oriented for my liking.”

As a current student, I can assure you that Carnegie Mellon is as engineering-oriented as you want it to be. Aside from engineering, CMU is also home to some of the best design, drama, and computer science programs (among others) in the world. It’s truly a university in that sense: you can (and almost certainly will) find your passion in nearly anything here, and surround yourself with people with those interests as well as completely different ones.
