<p>Thanks for your input! Yeah, I did hear that CMU is a nerdy-type of school but I have never been there. I’m asking actually for my sister, and she doesn’t know that much about computer science. I also hear that the social scene is kind of dead there. As for Stern, we’ve been to NYC a lot and the lack of campus is a negative somewhat. I’m concerned about the grading/curving and competitive atmosphere, if it’s really so bad or manageable.</p>
<p>My sister didn’t get into CSOM Honors even though she has a 2340 SAT and 2 SAT SUBJ with 800 and 1 with 790. Is it a big handicap not to be in Honors? </p>
