<p>Jackhart- same experience, same school, different major. Result of appeal from CMU was 0. But, maybe you will have better luck. I hope so. </p>
<p>My son decided that would be too much debt, especially since the other options he had were excellent. So, he sent CMU the “thank you for considering me, but I have decided to go elsewhere” letter a few days ago. It was sad for him (he really loved the school), but he knows he will be in a better financial position when he graduates. </p>
<p>Will the education be as good? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just trying to justify the situation. But there is always grad school!</p>
