Wow, thanks to everybody that posted in this thread I just spent all of last night reading through the posts and all of them were very helpful! I had a couple more questions though, so if anybody could add input that would be really nice ;)


I’m pretty curious about the Hillel-type stuff. I found the website for the Claremont Hillel, but it would help to have just general opinions. Stuff like whether there’s matzo available during Passover and a place to go to services for Holidays and stuff.
Does applying ED help a lot, or just more like a little boost? I’m pretty sure Harvey Mudd’s my first choice right now and will probably apply ED, but need to get the okay from the parents.
Also… interviews? I’d like to have one, but would have to fly down from Seattle. (I don’t think Mudd has alumni interviews?). Are they pretty informal? Is it possible to sit-in on a few classes one day, if I end up flying down there?
Last question! Is the gender ratio really as big a deal as some people say? I’m a girl, so I wasn’t too upset to hear about the 70-30 split, but I guess I’m just a little more worried about being singled out as the “token girl.” I’ve been one of the only girls (2-3 in each class of 25-30…even worse than Mudd ;)!) in most of my classes this year and last, which is a little uncomfortable.


Thanks again! You guys really make Mudd sound like an awesome place. :)
