Choose CMU vs. Stanford

[kslksl]

<p>Hi, I am here ask questions for my friend. She is recently accepted to the Chem-e program of Carnegie Mellon University and also Stanford. Which one is better? As she is plan to concentrated on industry. </p>

<p>the two choises have some pros and cons, let me list those:
CMU:
+Top in its system engineering, good places in Pittsburge
- definitely no financial aid</p>

<p>Stanford:
+highly reputed, possible to get aided
-the curriculum seems more related to research and chemistry, not quite technology oriented</p>

<p>Glad for any advices that makes it easier to decide which program to select. Thanks in advance~</p>

<p>That’s a nobrainer - go to Stanford (OMG)!</p>

<p>Stanford is better ranked for Chem-e and is possibly offering her financial aid, whereas she is getting none from CMU. I’d definitely go to Stanford under those circumstances. </p>

<p>BTW she will have no trouble getting an industry job with a Stanford degree even if her major is more research-oriented.</p>
