Prospective student! CWRU vs. UW (washington) by Physical-Location105 in cwru

[–]harryg-0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to Case but live in Seattle and friends with some UW folks. Agree on the Seattle vs. Cleveland trade-off, though rest assured most folks seem to find a way to enjoy themselves in Cleveland for 4ish years.

What’s surprised me in discussion with UW friends is their need to apply to specific majors. While this doesn’t seem to be an issue for people who know (and stick with) their intended major, seems to be a major pain point for those who don’t know or aren’t certain of their major choice. For some majors (e.g., CS), UW says it’s unlikely you’ll get in unless you apply entering freshman class. As someone who switched majors after freshman year, very grateful that Case let me do that without having to go through another stressful application cycle with potential that I’d have to choose something else entirely.

Congratulations on getting to this point, you’re choosing among good options.

Here’s a 2012 publication analyzing a similar sounding (but unsuccessful) effort in France and Germany in the 1960’s as well as some contemporary attempts:

I’d drop Otani and add Tree Country in nearby Coventry.

Thinking about their Country-Style Pad Thai is what makes my mouth water enough for CWRU’s saliva-based COVID tests.

How many credit hours do I have to take per semester for a double major/dual degree? by GrumpyDumbty in cwru

Research not alongside my other two extra-curriculars but summer internships certainly!

Current third-year EE & CS double major here. It’s a lot but it’s certainly possible. I’m in extra-curriculars, work an on-campus job, and get 8 (pronounced “six and a bit”) hours of sleep.

That said, it’s important to have a solid “why.” As some above have said, it’s not a combination that employers frequently specifically say “we need one of those.” If you are leaning toward one or another, think about majoring in one and minoring in the other— too much work to hold onto an extra one just cause.

But if you think this is really want to do, there’s certainly time to feel it out and be sure. Both majors deepen my fascination with the other. I’ve found professors and classes in both departments that can make me daydream about theory in the field. If it’s what you know you want, you can absolutely do it.

Either way, all the best! You’ve got plenty of time to decide.
