Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

THE Longest List ever:
Purdue University
Umass Amherst
Umass Dartmouth
Umass Lowell
University of Rhode Island
University of Southern Maine
University of Maine
University of Hartford
University of Connecticut
Central Connecticut State University
Stevens Institute of Tech.
Rochester Institute of Tech.
Stony Brook University
Western New England University
Hofstra University

I've been accepted to Central Connecticut, U of Hartford, and Hofstra. (No denials yet) Best part is 2 of the 3 have given me scholarship money!!! I had a below average GPA compared to all my colleges yet I have still received money mostly due to my FIRST experience. Hofstra even included a stick note citing my robotics for the reasoning for acceptance and scholarship.

It's really got me bogged down, I feel like I'm not getting into college now :P

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

After seeing a lot of students list "Boulder" as one of their colleges, and having gotten a countless number of emails from them in the last few months, I decided to check the school out. And I'm glad I did. It looks like a very great school to me, I think I'll apply!

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

I'm currently a graduate student at WPI. Any WPI questions, feel free to come to me - I can at least point you in the right direction.

Same goes for Clarkson University - I just graduated this past May & spent some time leading the FRC mentoring organization as well as being 'floor mom' for the FIRST residence hall during my years there.

Don't hesitate to message me about either!

Did I read that correctly?

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

I am applying to most of the University of California schools:
UC Berkeley (#1)
UC Davis
UCLA
UC Santa Barbara
UCSD
UC Santa Cruz

I am also applying to Cal Poly SLO and San Jose State. I guess you could say I am a California boy! I'm applying as an Electrical Engineering major, and may also include Purdue and University of Illinois on my list.

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

Wow, those are some long lists. As for me, I've only applied to one college so far, and that is Oregon State University. (OSU)
It has been my first choice for quite a while now, and I was just accepted a few days ago so I can be pretty sure when I say I'll be going to OSU for Manufacturing Engineering.

Very excited!

Re: FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?
 

Shameless plug for Rose-Hulman to anyone whose looking for a top-tier engineering school without the giant state-school feel.

I too (Class of 2013) applied to a ton of the big Midwest schools (Michigan, U of I, Georgia Tech, WPI, Carnegie, etc). What really drew me to Rose, however, was the small, tight-knit community, much like FIRST. It's also been consistently ranked as one of the top engineering school in the country for the past 15 years*, and I can attest that you'd be getting a great education here.

If anyone has any questions about Rose, feel free to PM me as well. It's most definitely not too late to apply, they work on a rolling admission process.

*#1 engineering school for universities without a doctorate program per US News and World Report

I've applied at the Coast Guard Academy, I should hear from them before Christmas.
I've been accepted at Missouri S&T if I don't make the Coast Guard. I'm excited, I know the FIRST Community is strong in Rolla.
