Not so bright
Hello to all Mudders,
Our family needs to help our high school senior decide between MIT, Caltech and Harvey Mudd. We think that Harvey Mudd would be a better fit for her, but we know that a lot of what we get from all the schools is marketing. How will employers and graduate programs view the choice of undergrad program? Thanks for your help.

Super Brilliant
Absolute best undergraduate engineering/science program. However, this may lead to butting heads with idiotic PhD's who haven't heard of HMC. Turns out, though, you are on a very strong footing.... if you make yourself so.

Quite Bright
I had friend at Harvey Mudd who was in the Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq in 2003. I jokingly asked him which was harder, boot camp or Mudd. Suprisingly, he replied he didn't know.

My experience at Mudd is that it was hard. Very hard. I learned a LOT at Mudd and now am very sucessful in my career, but it was a somewhat brutal experience.

One thing to consider about Mudd before going- They sell very hard on the smallness of the school and the attention students get from faculty. This is true, students as a whole get far more attention then they would at a larger university. However, every student who gets in there would be a standout at most larger universities, which negates a large portion of the arguement for going to Mudd. But I'm still bitter about not getting to do research like 1/2 my peers, so you may want to ignore that.

Getting to do extra-curriculars isn't as hard as people make it out to be. I did various varsity sports and student government activites and found I (mostly) had no problem with my studies. What really caused a lack of sleep was excessive watching of online TV shows and staying up/out all night with friends.

Like all education, you get back what you put into classes. At Mudd, you are guarenteed to put in a lot, so you get a lot back.
