<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I know CMU is more well known for its academics and is more competitive and harder to get into but UPitt has basically offered me a scholarship and a free application already.</p>
<p>In terms of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Environmental Engineering, which school is better? I only care about the academics here.</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>For engineering/technology majors, CMU is far superior.</p>
<p>What can your parents afford? What’s the cost difference between CMU and UPitt? I know it sounds hard to believe but, for many practicing engineers, where they went to school makes not much difference, as long as the schools are ABET accredited.</p>
<p>CMU is far better and you’ll be surrounded by smarter peers, but if cash is an issue UPitt may be worth it.</p>
<p>If you can afford CMU/are willing to pay, I can see no reason why you wouldn’t. Pitt is comparable in chem I believe but nowhere close in any engineering.</p>
