<p>Hmm that is going to be tough, I didn't notice that you were considering CS too.</p>
<p>Umm, I think I should point out to any of the readers of this thread that CMU does not offer Financial Aid for international students, and hello was one of the few exceptional international students to be admitted to Duke with aid (the admission process is need-aware for internationals).</p>
<p>That said, if you are able to afford CMU for four years, then you should go to Carnegie. Duke, while not as good as CMU, should be your choice if you have any concerns about covering your undergrad tuition at CMU.</p>
<p>Just my $.02.</p>
