<p>I have been accepted into carnegie mellon for engineering undecided and to Northwestern's engineering school. I was interested in doing ECE in carnegie Mellon, but was only offered engineering undecided. I am just curious whether I should choose Northwestern's electrical engineering program over CMU's mechanical engineering program. I am real confused. What do u guys have to say??</p>
<p>I have a very similar dilemma. I got into CMU's SCS and NU's McCormick. Both are awesome schools obviously. If I knew that computer science will be my life, then I'd, without stopping to think for a second, choose CMU over NU. But there's no way I can say for sure that I'd continue to enjoy CS (considering i've only studied CS for two years so far). NU is strong in a wide variety of courses. There are a lot more courses that I find interesting at NU, but their CS doesn't compare to CMU's. Which would people choose if they were in my shoes?</p>
<p>billlemos, if you're truly into engineering and engineering only, maybe you should go to cmu. i felt like cmu was a more techie school and brings a lot of strong engineering students in one spot which would be great for a potential engineer. northwestern has a more well rounded vibe and i think is better for someone who may choose not to go into engineering in their future.</p>
<p>expo2005: I am interested in double majoring in economics or business and engineering. What do you think is a better option?I would agree with you that NWU offers a wider variety of intersting courses than CMU.
However, I dont know if I would fit it into the 'rich kids' atmosphere that NWU seems to have. I would prefer a more 'working class' atmosphere that is present in CMU.</p>
<p>CMU has an engineering BS w/ MBA program, just so you know</p>
<p>is it easy to get in to the engineering BS w/MBA program?</p>
<p>No it's not.</p>
<p>blech everyone that has been accepted so far. i wanna hear something!</p>
<p>so what do you have to do to get into the engineering with MBA, cuz i m only accepted for ECE</p>
<p>hmm same dilemma here too. i'm undecided engineering at both schools tho. i was thinking of doing chemical or electrical maybe. i'm not too sure. any pros and cons?</p>
