Follow up: Class of 2015, Where Are You Going?

[Jay O'Donnell]

Hey CD,
This old thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130973 got pretty cluttered and outdated, and now that college decisions are all out, I figured it would be a good idea to start a new thread of just your final decision on college/military/work/whatever else you are doing next year. So feel free to post where you'll be!

I'll be studying Mechanical Engineering at Clarkson University this fall! Very excited!

[Cash4587]

I'll be at Texas A&M for Mechanical Engineering. I can't wait!

[ThunderousPrime]

I will be going to SUNY Binghamton for undecided Engineering.

[theawesome1730]

Iowa State University majoring in Mechanical minoring in Electrical engineering

[tindleroot]

Choosing between Case Western Reserve or Purdue, majoring in Computer Science and a secondary degree in Music.

[Brian Maher]

I am 90% sure I am going to RPI (possibly Stevens, not certain yet) for Computer Science.

[cgodzyk]

I'll be studying Mechanical Engineering at Clarkson University this fall! Very excited!

good choice! if you have any questions about Clarkson/robotics at Clarkson feel free to message me

[Lemon]

I'll be going to Virginia Tech, planning for computer engineering.

[Abhishek R]

UT Austin, for Mechanical Engineering. Pretty psyched.

[cad321]

Mechanical Engineering at Mohawk college way up north here in Canada :D

[pabeekm]

Caltech for undecided engineering.

[Vespasian]

Still deciding between University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. I also got into UC Berkeley but decided against any chance of attending recently due to distance and a variety of other factors. If anyone has any insight into GT vs. U of M I'm all open to discussion.

[RonAyyyyyyyy]

(Probably) Illinois Tech for physics

[Dunngeon]

Cal Poly SLO for Mechanical Engineering.

[tindleroot]

Still deciding between University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. I also got into UC Berkeley but decided against any chance of attending recently due to distance and a variety of other factors. If anyone has any insight into GT vs. U of M I'm all open to discussion.

I presume this is for CS?

[K-Dawg157]

(Probably) Illinois Tech for physics

Hey! Illinois Tech! Woo!!

I'm going for Architectural Engineering, but still! :D

[BriteBacon]

I'll be going to Lake Superior State University for undecided engineering but I'm most likely going to pick computer engineering.

[E Dawg]

Colorado State University for Computer Engineering.

[puneeth.meruva]

MIT or Duke for Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and potentially Biomedical Engineering.

[Vespasian]

I presume this is for CS?

I plan on going into aerospace engineering at GT or Michigan. That's why I'm so stuck, their programs are extremely comparable (#3 and #2 nationwide respectively), and I loved visiting both.

[Ichlieberoboter]

Who is #1?

[puneeth.meruva]

I'm pretty sure it's MIT

[JesseK]

Still deciding between University of Michigan and Georgia Tech. I also got into UC Berkeley but decided against any chance of attending recently due to distance and a variety of other factors. If anyone has any insight into GT vs. U of M I'm all open to discussion.

Maybe I'm biased (GT'05), but GT has an expansive undregrad research program. What major? I did EE and got to do AI/Optics research in semiconductors. They also have a fantastic nanotech lab I keep getting alumni emails about.

[Vespasian]

I'm pretty sure it's MIT

It is MIT, but I didn't get in there. Congrats to anyone who did, as I personally know of a few geniuses who were rejected. When you're comparing top 5 (or probably top 10 for that matter) engineering schools, I'm not sure job placement and opportunities are affected much by subtle changes in ranking. I got a slightly better vibe off of my visit to GT, and their facilities are amazing as well. I don't think you can beat a rec center built for the Olympics in terms of campus life/amenities.

[Basel A]

I plan on going into aerospace engineering at GT or Michigan. That's why I'm so stuck, their programs are extremely comparable (#3 and #2 nationwide respectively), and I loved visiting both.

I'm pretty biased as well, sent you a PM with some thoughts.


If anyone out there is coming to Michigan or thinking about it, I'd be happy to answer questions or provide advice.

[smurfgirl]

I'm pretty sure it's MIT

MIT is #1 in every engineering discipline it offers :)

If anyone has questions/wants to discuss MIT, send me a message. I loved MIT and would go back there in a heartbeat, but I will be honest with you about the less glamorous aspects of MIT life as well.

[sergioCorral842]

Granted all my scholarships come out in a positive way, I will be at WPI for Computer Engineering.

[connor.worley]

Anyone with questions about UC Berkeley, feel free to message me.

[bam-bam]

Feel free to message any of the mentors currently donning a Purdue team flair (461, 1646, 1747, 4272) about the Purdue FIRST Programs, and any questions about life, departments, opportunities, and more at Purdue.

[DampRobot]

PM/email me for Stanford info or if you want to meet up during admit weekend.

[Walter Deitzler]

I will be attending the University of Alabama in Huntsville! I am super excited to do so!

MIT is #1 in every engineering discipline it offers :)

If anyone has questions/wants to discuss MIT, send me a message. I loved MIT and would go back there in a heartbeat, but I will be honest with you about the less glamorous aspects of MIT life as well.

I'm also available to ask questions about MIT. I'm a current junior, and I love it! But I will also talk on the good, the bad and the ugly.

[Boris5202]

I'm heading to Rensselaer Poly for chemical engineering, but that I might go for another engineering instead.

Yale recently announced a major expansion in their CS department, and I'm very excited to witness this transformation. Article here (http://seas.yale.edu/news-events/news/yale-launches-expansion-department-computer-science).

[GaryVoshol]

Got into the nuclear program so should be a blast.I hope not literally! ::ouch::

[hannaners]

Going to the University of Chicago for economics - sadly not much a FIRST presence there :(

[tindleroot]

Going to the University of Chicago for economics - sadly not much a FIRST presence there :(

Maybe you can help change that! However, I do know Wildstang is just North of downtown Chicago (up in Schaumburg), and I'm sure many other teams exist in the Chicago area that you can get involved with!

[nainus]

I'm going to WPI for Mech Eng.

[orangemoore]

Going to the University of Chicago for economics - sadly not much a FIRST presence there :(

Not true!

We are from Chicago. PM if you want to learn a little more.:)

Maybe you can help change that! However, I do know Wildstang is just North of downtown Chicago (up in Schaumburg), and I'm sure many other teams exist in the Chicago area that you can get involved with!

Also Schaumburg is not exactly close to close to Chicago. It is about 30 miles away.

[mj371]

I'm going to Michigan Tech for a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Anyone else going there?

Oops :yikes: actually changed my mind and now I am officially officially going to Michigan Tech for Statistics and Mechanical Engineering!

I'll be going to Michigan Tech as well! My fellow driver and I will both be going there in pursuit of a masters in CS. We should all hang out.

[hannaners]

Maybe you can help change that! However, I do know Wildstang is just North of downtown Chicago (up in Schaumburg), and I'm sure many other teams exist in the Chicago area that you can get involved with!

Haha that's definitely one of my goals! UChicago doesn't have an engineering department but I'm sure I'll find students interested in the program - I know many colleges sponsor and mentor teams so I'm looking at that as a possibility.

Not true!

We are from Chicago. PM if you want to learn a little more.:)

Also Schaumburg is not exactly close to close to Chicago. It is about 30 miles away.

By "FIRST presence" I meant for the University specifically - not Chicago :p It's not a college like WPI or Georgia Tech with a lot of FIRST alum (I actually don't know any FIRST alums who go there or will go there), and it's not a popular choice for FIRSTers since it's more liberal arts based and has no engineering program. I don't plan on mentoring my first year but I'll definitely be volunteering when I get the chance! PM'ed anyways :)

[mj371]

300+ inches of snow a year... but Houghton is awesome place in summer.

It's an awesome place in the winter too if you like snow :D
