^May have more to with the expected budget cuts in education I think, pretty awful, since I know a lot of people who definitely deserve to get in didn’t get in, and vice-versa. Also, if you happen to know, why are these 4.2 students who took general calculus and physical science classes getting in over kids taking BC calc and physics c with 3.7’s and consecutive ISSEF (international science fair) placements + lab research? Are they cutting people based totally off their GPA and SAT or what?

Also, to stay on topic, CMU is a giant money vacuum… the place costs around 55 grand a year to attend. There’s absolutely no reason why you should take on a debt so high, especially with a great school like GT that would be much less. That should be one of your top priorities I think.
