<p>I'm already a 1st year CS major here at CMU... but I have a sister who is a year below me who has to make her own college decision now...</p>

<p>She is considering CMU, Georgia Tech, UGA (we live in GA so Tech and UGA would be in-state public schools for her). Financial aid wise, she got about the same as me, maybe a little more, for CMU. It's still a lot of money, though.</p>

<p>If she went to CMU she would probably do Economics... how good is the Economics department here (rankings, whatever)? Is it worth the money since this would take a huge chunk of $ out of my family's financial nest, sending not one but two kids to CMU?</p>
