Hey! I am very interested in transferring into Harvey Mudd. Having heard that it has a very hard/tough course, mudd sounds very challenging. I have a question though and it would be great if anyone could help me answer this.

I plan to do what they call “Individual Program of Studies”, consisting of electrical engineering(or general engineering) and (theoretical) physics. However, I am concerned that the curriculum looks very biased towards the practical aspect, and not as much theory. Is this true? How many labs do you generally have per week? Would it be a good decision to come to mudd if I am interested in the theoretical aspect of physics (and engineering).

Also, how hard is mudd really, compare to other universities. Mudd doesnt have a big name/reputation, but it seems like a very good college.

Thx in advance
Cheers!
