Hi guys, I’m planning to apply to one of them because both are ED(Binding). I’m looking for the CS program. Which one is less competitive?
CMU’s CS program is one of the most competitive in the world, but that shouldn’t play a role when deciding which school to ED.
@Vctory I would love to go to any one of them. So, to maximize my chances, where should I apply?
Apply to the one that feels like your best fit. Visit both and see which school you mesh better with; they have very different cultures.
If you have the qualifications (which I assume you do), apply CMU ED and Cornell RD. I would only offer this opinion in the case of you desiring to be admitted to the CMU College of CS.
I have daughters at both schools. Both are great universities.
Thank you all! I have decided to go ahead with Cornell in ED. For my profile, CMU is a bit tougher I feel.
