I just wanted to say good job for you... I don't think ne1 from 71 is going but I may be wrong. Once again; good job.... have fun.

Congrats!

I'm still waiting for my early schools... you'd think some of these tech schools would have made application-reading-and-deciding robots to speed the whole process up a bit, or at the very least, have a system where you could find out online or through e-mail or something

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Yeah, you'd think so, but MIT only notifies people through snail mail.
Well, congratulations, it's always nice to see so many happy people at this time of year.

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Yeah, I know :mad: Mine's mailed out Monday, so I'm going to find out Wednesday or Thursday

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

So sweet that U.Penn. put all their early decisions on thier admissions website friday the twelth at 3, def better than waiting for it in the mail.






And yes i did get in.

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Rice mails out on monday, but I got a special email with a subject "Your admission status has been changed"

You see, it linked to a site where you log in and find out if you got in.

You also had to go through a registration process to find out. I almost had a heart attack.

...I finally heard back from one of my two early schools... the envelope was bigger than normal, so my hands were shaking as I opened it. Turns out I got in. I'm shocked. I can guarentee all of you that there's no chance in hell I would have gotten in if it wasn't for robotics and FIRST, so thanks FIRST.

Now the question is are there any teams in or around Pasadena, California?

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Monday, I heard from one of my top choices, WPI. I got accepted, and I know Mel (yearbook50) and Gui (I forgot his CD username) both also got accepted. Any other FIRSTers get accepted to WPI early?

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Gui Cavalcanti. I know...it's sooooooooooo hard :p

Congratulations everyone :)

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Yeah, there's quite a few around (I'm not too sure about Pasadena, though). The team I work with is located very close to Pasadena.

CalTech?

And I still haven't heard. Maybe they send out the rejection letters later than the acceptance ones. :(

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Aye... Caltech.

Like I said, though, if it wasn't for robotics, there's no way I could have gotten in. Half of my application was essentially what I did for robotics.

What school are you waiting for?

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Congratulations. I'm still waiting to hear from MIT. All the deferral letters got sent out already...

Re: Awesome!! Just got word back from my top choice college!
 

Yep, I got into WPI. :)

Soo many FIRSTers are already there... woo!
