Ok...so random boredom creates random posts. I actually borrowed this idea off of my AP Government teacher who has a giant poster on the wall where we write what colleges everyone has gotten into. This is every place you get in, not neccessarly where you are going to go...

So lets hear it seniors? Have you heard back yet? And if so, what do you want to major in?

I got into the Rochester Institute of Technology (Mechanical Engineering w/ Aerospace option), and at the very least Jess Boucher better repost where she got in! ;o)

Ok, posting just for Lora....;)

Ok, at special request, I am posting for Lora ;)

I got into Babson College ('lil business school near Boston, #1 in the nation for entrepreneurship).

I also got into UCONN as a resident at Storrs (yay!)....so, if the money doesnt come through, thats where I'll be.

I've also applied to Bentley College & NEastern Univ., but I wont hear from them 'til April 1st.

I'll be majoring in a mix of international business administration, infusing as much technology into there as humanely possible.

Anything Ive forgotten, Lora? ;)

Hello Jessica. I'm an alumni from Team 191, the XCats in Rochester, NY. I'm currently a sophomore at Northeastern, so I wanted to tell you that, while I'm not sure where else you applied or are considering, you should definently consider NU. I love it here, I have a lot of friends who are engineering majors and they like it. There are some drawbacks, none of which have to do with the quality of the school, but the way it's run. If you ever have a problem, you'll spend a lot of time running from office to office because they're all idiots. But that's probably true anywhere. There is also a team here (which I'm sure you probably know about). I'm not on the team because I just don't have the time with school and co-op, but I have met several people from the team and they are all really great people. You should talk to Joe Canavan on their team if you're interested. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Good luck with what ever you choose:)

my sis goes to bentley.

Because we're partially funded by the Admissions
Department I'm doing my duty by saying the following:
You should all go to RIT. I don't care if you want to
major in English! You should go to RIT! Yeah, I know
we don't have an English major, but you should come
here anyway! So basically, go to RIT!

Matt who hopes everyone realizes this was posted with
tongue firmly in cheek

Bill and Jess -- congrats!

I was accepted to Grand Valley State University. I committed this week, and i hope to either start a team next year or the year after that (even if the university doesn't give me money) =)

i have a lot of experience in that...
