Experiences with smart kids at second tier schools

<p>mommeleh - thanks for the advice - we were told the same thing many times. We’ve actually been thinking about different options for him there. I’m not sure SCS is even the best school for him because he won’t have time to explore his other interests. He may want to stay in Dietrich and minor in cs or do a double major in HCI (of course, he has to apply for that too).</p>

<p>The workload and questionable future major/minor issues is exactly why S is hesitating on CMU. It’s hard to commit to a school when you’re not sure that you’ll be able to do what you want to do.</p>
