回复 1楼 guan2006 的帖子 Congrats, both are great schools. I'd personally pick Dartmouth over CMU, dartmouth kids are much more well rounded. CMU is very technical, great foundation but too much homework, Dartmouth is really fun. Only thing is Dartmouth is very preppy, not as easy for Chinese American guys to fit in as the social scene is dominated by bunch of WASPs. Your kid would be much more popular at CMU. Job placement for both schools are top.
回复 20楼 guan2006 的帖子 You don't need to worry too much- you really can't go wrong with either. It's more about what your son wants out of college. Banking/consulting are great career options, but keep in mind it's still very competitive to get in. You have to be the top 5% of Dartmouth to get into bulge bracket and MBB. Plenty of legacy kids at Dartmouth who all want these same jobs and their dads are the MDs/Partners of these firms already. Hanover is a tiny place, there's not much to do off of campus. CMU ECE grads on the other end can pretty much get in anywhere at the Tech firms- he can have his pick of Apple Google Amazon etc. He can also go to Wall Street/MBB but it's just a bit harder, a lot of CMU people also go to the quant finance role. Socially CMU is in Pittsburgh so students aren't just constrained to campus life though most people do given the homework load and lack of grade inflation (which Dartmouth has)
马上要去大猫访校,忐忑不安中,本来已经说服娃去CMU 读ECE, 他不是很向往的样子,知道将是苦行僧的活法。但是有大猫过来人介绍大猫功课重在探索兴趣,学啥不重要,重点是混兄弟会和club,找工作就找兄弟会学长引荐,我靠,去大猫躺平,去CMU 拼刺刀,我担心我娃访校后就喜欢上大猫 的环境。我娃喜欢运动和健身,练就一身疙瘩肉,又喜欢结交各类朋友,是个社牛。但是去大猫能学啥啊,强项是经济学, 学出来出来就是万金油,打听了一下, 一般大猫毕业生多去花街混咨询投行PE什么的, 这行业累成狗,貌似收入也不很高,尤其刚毕业头两年在纽约就是月光族,整体 career path 性价比不高, 也不清楚为啥那么多人喜欢混花街投行咨询业。 如果学CS, 这学校CS太弱, 白瞎了俺老汉的一大把银子。
Dartmouth
社牛 估计不会喜欢大猫 的环境。
确实,CMU天天作业到深夜。必须真爱才能去。
原来开始瞧不起投行前台的薪水了,牛
CMU也没有你说的那么幸苦,除非要求去上最难的课和全A。其实要求全A的话在大猫也一样压力巨大。
大猫CS出来的学生去向也不错,有不少在投行做SWE的,也没有你说的那么大压力。要去做交易员压力山大,但收入也是CS没法比的。
感觉来说大猫注重人文培养;而CMU就是一技校,讲究的就是实用。

问个问题啊,这种私校难道不是想读啥就读啥的吗
去cmu ,创业,躺平
能进cmu说明学业很强,情商又高,他不创业谁创业啊,cmu里都是业界的领头羊
这种就成了笑话啦。。。
既然lz自己就是理工男,只是想进大厂打工的话,自己多走走关系,比孩子去什么学校重要多了。我们这边州大历史系毕业的,家长也能塞进大厂当Engineer,一群Cal的CMU的只能陪跑。
这娃明明是当领导的料,为啥硬要把孩子往老码工的模板里塞呢?
有野心,爱交际,肌肉多,脑子灵光,几个哥们又都是学霸,这是啥,这是我们小ABC 高科技创业者的曙光哪。 尤其是小中男,再优秀混白男圈都不容易。
感觉主要是选专业,CMU的ECE真心累,但是出来了就算有艺在身了,以后应该会不错,还是看孩子喜不喜欢愿不愿意早点吃苦吧
谢谢回复, 我娃多年运动比赛养成吃苦耐劳的性格,相信学习上的压力他也能承受, 只是担心走哪条路更适合他发展, 怕走偏了。
CMU ECE 不能转CS吧
可以修CS课 拿Double major
cmu double major非常水,修几门课就可以
