Re: FIRST Class of 2015: Where are we going?

Kettering University (Non-Binding EA)--Accepted
Case Western Reserve University (Regular Decision)--Called back for interview
Columbia University (Binding ED)--Accepted and attending

I'm planning on going for Mechanical Engineering, and possibly the BS/BA double major program.

EDIT: I saw some commentary on the decreasing value of FIRST experience to colleges in the 2014 thread, so I want to add that I received a letter of congratulations from my application's readers that contained two handwritten notes. Both addressed my "dedication to robotics" as an important factor in their decision. Given that robotics-related avenues are my only big-time extracurriculars, I think that shows (anecdotally, at least) that FIRST still means something in colleges' eyes.
