Hi,

Can a current or recent student at HMC talk about the school’s Engineering program? How hard is it to maintain a good (ie above 3.0) GPA? What firms (both tech and finance) recruit on campus? Are you able to go to career / on campus recruiting events at other Claremont colleges?

Trying to decide between studying engineering at HMC or Math/CS at a NESCAC school… any advice/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

Average GPA is somewhere around a 3.3, so one would have to work as hard as the average student - which is pretty hard, as HMC ranked first in “students who study the most” in the Princeton review.
For recruiting events, see pages 3 and 4 of the career office’s publication: https://www.hmc.edu/career-services/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/OCS-Impact-Report-AUG17.pdf

Wow, I was in the exact same spot as you a couple of months ago. What did you end up deciding on?
