Locococomama, after hearing about Rose-Hulman I started diving into their website to see how their graduates fare (very well, maybe even better than UofM grads in jobs, salaries and graduate school admissions) and the CVs of their professors (who are products of top STEM universities like Carnegie-Mellon, RPI, Cornell, etc.). While rooting around, I came across a Rose-Hulman professor who graduated from Carnegie-Mellon a few years after I did. On a lark, I wrote her an email asking if she would be willing to speak with me about how the academics and campus culture at Rose compare to CMU (a notoriously tough school that seemed on a mission to fail out the bottom 20% of engineers in the 1980s). To my amazement, she responded within a couple hours and we spoke for 45 minutes later that same day. She could not have been more helpful, patient and forthcoming. If she is representative of the faculty at Rose, the school just replaced UofM as Jack’s top choice.
