Like years past, if you have been accepted and have made up your mind, what is your final answer?

College - Major - Minor?

UT Dallas - Electrical Engineering - [possibility of minor in CS and/or Mechanical Eng.]

Should we also list where people have applied and been accepted, or at least one of them? That will keep the thread much more active as most people won't decide until March or April if I had to guess.

I was going for more of a list of acceptances. Monica already made a thread on what you are talking about if I am not mistaken in the Chit-Chat forum.

Rutgers College of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering - Music Education
(Major and Minor could change, most likely will but I want to do Engineering and still want Music in my education one way or another.)

Unless I win the lottery,
University of Toledo - Civil Engineering. I may minor or dual major in Mechanical or just maybe Electrical. I'm not sure yet. Though I got accepted to Michigan Tech, Michigan State (Honors College), and University of Michigan.

Applications just went in yesterday for Ontario universities and I applied to The University of Western Ontario, McMaster University, University of Toronto, and Queen's University all for Mechanical Engineering. I don't know if those names mean anything to anyone from the states but they're all pretty much the biggest universities of Canada. I guess to compare it to something they're all like Canada's Ivy League. My top choice is Western but if I don't get in there I'm hoping for McMaster. Fingers crossed until May!!

Well, if I can find the money (or at least most of it), I'll be off to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (YAY MIT!!) next fall to get a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and maybe another major/minor in history. W00t.

My choice of major is history and minor is secondary education. I have not really applied to any colleges yet for I haven't taken my ACT's and colleges will be looking for those. The ones I am looking at are any New Mexico University in southern New Mexico and UAA here in Anchorage.

I am currently a senior in highschool but I don't go to highschool becuase I get to go to University WI Platteville full time as a special student. I am going to return here next year as a freshmen and get a major in computer science and mechanical engineering. I might also get a minor in computer integraed manufacturing since the classes I am taking now get me very close to that minor.

I was accepted at U of M, Kettering, and Michigan Tech.

I have decided on electrical engineering at Michigan Tech. I thought I might be alone up there, but it looks like a couple other FIRSTers are going up north too.

The way things are looking now I may end up at MIT doing a Course VI (EE/CS).
