<p>Compared to the demography of the United States…lol CMU is not diverse. There is an overwhelming amount of Asian male computer engineering majors at CMU…</p>
<p>US is 51/49 m/f
4.3% Asian. 14.5% Hispanic, 12.1% black.</p>

<p>[Bill</a> Gates surprises students as “stand in” professor (Oct. 12, 2005)](<a href=“http://www.news.wisc.edu/11679]Bill”>Bill Gates surprises students as “stand in” professor)</p>
<p>My son has applied to both Illinois and CMU for Computer Engineering and we visited both campuses. You’ll get a good education in your major at both places.</p>
<p>If you like a large, attractive campus where you can meet people who are majoring in any imaginable area, with a huge selection of extracurricular activities, pick UIUC.</p>
<p>If you want to root for a big time sports team, pick UIUC. If you want to watch your friends play for the school team, pick CMU.</p>
<p>If you want a more intimate school, with a quirky mix of budding engineers/scientists and artists, pick CMU.</p>
<p>My son has been accepted to Illinois, and is waiting to hear from CMU. He really doesn’t know which he’d pick at this point, but that will be up to him.</p>
