AMCdad I completely understand what you are saying, but my daughter is set on engineering (not pure science) so she’s not interested in applying to a different discipline. She’s still debating over mechanical or materials, but I think she’s got her heart set on mechanical. I’m not sure how much of a difference there would be anyway, since while materials has fewer applicants, it is also a smaller program.
Trust me, we’ve been looking at this stuff for the past year…
