LoremIpsum, is your major Computer science or engineering? I assumed they send this email to all computer science admits!



My son is majoring in CS within engineering (I think you can do this via LAS, too?). Perhaps they did send it to all the CS majors – my son’s invite appeared two days after he was awarded the $15k/yr Engineering Premier Scholarship, so I just assumed it was restricted to the candidates with top stats. Maybe not? They could, in fact, be looking for the CS major with the most creative essay; the questions asked are certainly thought-provoking. One question I enjoyed (paraphrased): “Do you think new algorithms are created or discovered?”
