<p>thanks, twizz. I did not know that RH had some humanities required. I assumed , due to the name, that it was ‘pure technical’, and the students might not exercise their readin’ and writin’. </p>
<p>I sheepishly confess that, having only started this looksee, and that I did not actually pop open the grad reqs from the website.</p>
<p>Can one do comp sci / math at RH?</p>
<p>To me it is obvious why there are more apps at HM. It is in LA, short distance to the ocean and to hollywood, surrounded by those four other premier schools where a students can avail themselves of those other schools’ offerings. This all actually conspires, to me, to make RH a better option, especially in the sciences, from what I can see - as far as solid academics and preparation for post college goes. One can go to hollywood later, if one wants to visit 
</p>
<p>I have already gathered from listening to others that there is a superior support and nurturing environment at RH, probably due to this more egalitarian acceptance policy (god bless terra haute). I am not sure how this compares w/ other science-like places, especially other places that start with students with garish SAT/ACT numbers, solidly north of 30 in the mid 50 of the ACT.</p>
<p>From listening in at CC postings, I get the idea that many engineering schools, especially bigger ones, run with a 'exclude/weed ‘em’ model. ‘Only the best and strong survive’ model. That RH seems to want to nurture their students instead of nazi like, weed 'em out, speaks to me as a good place to go to college.</p>
