@ClaremontMom and @frontpage
My S wants to ED at Harvey Mudd. I have never been to HMC or any top school (MIT, Stanford, Olin, Princeton, Univ of southern california). He visited Caltech and HMC last summer. He is a bit nerdy (ouch), great in math and robotics and will pursue Robotics as a career. He is crazy about Robotics and can spend every waking moment on building and then programming.
I have heard HMC is a great school - and the top schools are reach for anyone. Any negatives of HMC compared to other schools. We are from southeast, so he does like warm climate and California will be great for him (MIT, Olin might be too cold).
Do you think Engineering is too abstract Or not enough opportunities in Robotics? Do students find jobs easily or forced to do MS/Phd after undergrad.
Thanks.
