Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Creepy, I'm applying to those same 3. Already did Kettering and Tech, going to be submitting U of M pretty soon. Pretty focused on Michigan Tech though, I absolutely loved their campus when I went to visit.

I was going to do MIT just for the heck of it, but I have prior engagements on the only days remaining for the SAT subject tests. Oh well.

Oh and mechanical engineering. Before FIRST I was pretty set on computer programming or something, but one ThunderChicken season (and a summer internship at FANUC Robotics) later I've been convinced otherwise.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I'm applying to VA Tech, Duke, UVA and Cornell. Tech and Duke are my favorites. I want to do either biomedical or mechanical engineering; I haven't decided.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I've been accepted to Purdue with a scholarship... so i'm probably going there

Other schools:
Rose Hulman Institute of Technology
University of Cincinnati
Marquette
Grand Valley State
Michigan State University

Looking for some type of engineering and co-op.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I'm kinda surprised at all the people applying to Rose-Hulman. On my visit, it didn't really seem like anything too special.. felt like it'd be 4 more years at my high school. Not to mention it's this random high tech facility in the middle of farmlands :rolleyes: what are y'alls reasoning?

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I love the campus and everything but at 30,000+/yr is a bit steep for me. Its a small school in the middle of nowhere with a great view pretty much everywhere. Although the social life and stuff seems boring and what not, I think it would be worth it. My mentor showed me Rose no our way to IRI and I pretty much fell in love and there are some very nice people there as well.

Apparently there have been many FIRSTers that have gone to Rose but none have started a FIRST team there, so if anybody is passing their classes and has some time on their hands, I'm pretty sure Rose is interested, and many alumni who are now in FIRST would be happy.

Pavan.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Actually, our team's previous captain now attends Rose Hulman and he absolutely loves it there. But I also think it's the type of school you could either love or hate.

Thats cool you got in already. Congrats!
I am waiting for a response to come.. hopefully it comes soon! (wish me luck ;) )

Since I didn't put any of my other college choices I'll go ahead and do it now,

UC Berkeley (The only one that would actually make me doublethink Purdue)
UC Davis
UC San Diego
Cal Poly (cant decide between San Luis Obispo and Pomona to apply)
and others that really depend on whether or not i get a response from Purdue soon.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Got my acceptance letter from Michigan Tech today =D plus a load of merit scholarships

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Cool, Good for you. Be sure to look into that full-ride leadership scholarship at MTU too.
The application has to be filled out and sent by mid-october.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I'm applying to:
MIT (early action)
Tufts
RPI
WPI
Carnegie Mellon
Yale
Cornell
UCONN
Princeton
Lafayette
Johns Hopkins

I'm looking to major in materials engineering or mechanical engineering.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I have gotten into -
Milwaukee School of Engineering
Rose-Hulman
St. Thomas
Bradely University
Ripon College
St. Cloud State

and I'm still waiting to hear back from -
Marquette University
University of Minnesota Twin Cities IT

I'm going to be doing electrical engineering and computer science

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I got into
Michigan Tech
University of Michigan
Tri-State
Michigan State
and University of Toledo.

I'm not sure where i'm going yet but I think UT is winning out with the fact it would be free for me to attend (Merit based scholarships). They also have a really good engineering department.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

I heard back from MIT today... I got in! Not yet sure if I'm going there or not, but it was still pretty exciting to hear.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Congrats!! Buddy of mine got his letter also, his EA application was deferred :( then again, someone from our team was deferred last year and made it in anyways, so there's still some hope.

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

To bump an old (but still relevent thread):

I'll probably major in Electrical or Computer E (or Robotics E if at WPI), and I'm applying/applied to:
MIT deferred
Caltech rejected
WPI accepted! woot
Olin
UC Berkley
UCLA
UCSD
UC Davis
USC
CMU
Stanford
RPI
Harvey Mudd

Congrats!!! I got deferred, but there's still hope :)

Re: Class of 2008 !
 

Don't Know :P

I havn't really thought it through yet....

:rolleyes:
