CMU Tepper Undergrad (Course information)
Hi,
I'm considering going into CMU Tepper for undergrad and wanted to hear about the courses from someone who has been in the program. Specifically, I want to know how quantitative the curriculum is. CMU openly advertises that it has a highly quantitative curriculum, and when I sat down in an operations management class, it was all statistics in context of business. Are other classes similarly quantitative at Tepper. If so, do you think a student who is not that strong in math (relative to CMU standards) can still maintain a high gpa in Tepper classes, thanks for reading.
Was a Tepper undergrad, then transferred into math. Tepper is not that quantitative. You'll be forced to take an absolutely introductory stats class but that's it. With that said, I don't think CMU is a good school if you're not interested in quantitative fields as it's pretty much a non-target for things like IBD and only shines in S&T.
Thanks for the reply, if I'm looking to get into consulting/strategy instead of finance, do you believe that tepper would still not be a good school
It's ok for consulting but not that many kids go to MBB. What else are you choosing between?
Thanks for helping me out with this, I also have mich, though I'm not a preadmit to Ross. I was unaware that they changed their program to allow more preadmits, so I figured I'd just apply as a freshman at Michigan. They are still reserving spots for freshman applicants, so if I go I would have a decent chance of getting in (I hope I don't sound cocky but I think I'd be in the upper range of Michigan students applying for Ross as freshman applicants)
Would you be paying in state tuition for michigan or no?
I wouldn't be paying instate
Eh, I'd probably go with Tepper then. Just know that to get MBB you have to bust ass from year one - start joining clubs like Enactus and get as many leadership positions in business clubs, maintain a 3.9+, start doing internships freshman year doing anything you can, etc etc
