<p>I definitely heard of a number of people becoming disillusioned of their route after they came to HMC. Also, heard many of the same things for Caltech (they are quite similar in many ways)
I’d definitely say be careful. AND, I highly discourage pre-med, pre-law or stuff like that. I don’t go to HMC right now, so I can’t say from experience, but I read TONS of stuff discouraging students who want to pursue those in Mudd.</p>
