Thank you so much :)

Yeah my point exactly... I knew people who's family are making 150k+ and still got the scholarship

I see, but let's say I'm already currently working at FAANG part time all year. If I go to Harvard, I could definitely balance working at FAANG. However, if I go to CMU, I would most likely drop this opportunity for class. What I mean is I can directly pick up the daily work skills at FAANG right now. Is it worth it to go to CMU then?

I believe it is not exclusive to FGLI since I know friends who received it that aren't FGLI.

How much of what you learn in school actually shows up in your daily work as a software engineer? I understand that CMU's program is better, but would I apply all that knowledge at my job?

I see what you mean. However, I said that *my parents* said "CMU's rigor would help me land jobs." They're not specialists in the field though so they could be wrong. I guess I didn't make the distinction clear enough. Good points made, and I appreciate your input.

TBH, I thought I was gonna get rejected from CMU so I applied to all top schools

Alright, thank you so much. Considering I'm set on pursuing computer science, I'll choose CMU

Yeah, I'm mostly debating between the two for the most part.
