@PentaDad I don’t want to hijack this thread, so you can PM me if you want. Well a few here and there drop, but it’s certainly not a mass exodus. These kids get extremely high paying jobs with just an undergrad degree. You can go on CMU website and find out where all the grads have taken jobs, the pay, or if the student decided to go to grad school and where. They have a top notch career office as does Cornell, by the way. In one interview my D had with a big consulting firm, they told her they like to come to CMU, Cornell, MIT, etc because they have the quantitative skills they require.

Some students would argue that CMU doesn’t provide enough support…but take that for what it’s worth. For as many kids that say they need more support, as many say they don’t. I’m sure it’s similar everywhere. My daughter is an Academic Peer Counselor (strict application and training process) and she advises students on time management, workload stress etc. Currently she is having to turn kids away because her caseload is full and she has tons of work herself.
