<p>Also, your beliefs about GT are all wrong. It’s not a weed out school - over 90% retention of freshman to graduation. It’s not an “easy” school for admission. There’s cultural diversity, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s not a HUGE school (12,000 undergrads - compare that to 40,000 at some schools). It’s also nothing like high school.</p>
<p>But, like I said, you have some reason you want to go to CMU, so go there. If you go to GT just because your parents force you, you’ll be miserable - not because of Tech but because you didn’t get your way. </p>
<p>You just need to research the schools better and make a more informed and convincing argument.</p>
