Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University

<p>Hello to all. I am having quite a delimma trying to pick which school to go too. Although CMU does not guarantee a spot in their 5 year Engineering/MBA program it is a possibility. I don't know which field of engineering I will end up but its either comp sci, electrical or mechanical. CMU has stronger programs than U of R but its also more expensive. I have been selected as a REBS student (Any undergrad degree even a double major + MBA in 6 years). The main reason I have become stuck on my decision is because I have been offered to completely different financial aid packages. U of R is offering $52,000 in scholarships leaving me only $5,500 in loans. CMU has requested a $8,500 loan + $15,000! </p>

<p>Is an engineer from CMU that much valued that the debit I will be in really a minimal amount?</p>

<p>Thank you everyone!</p>

<p>I’m having the same dilemma. I’m afraid that the debt wouldn’t be worth it.</p>

<p>I have a similar dilemma with GEAR at Rochester. Carnegie Mellon is a better school, but how much better? Is it worth it?</p>
