Re: Class of '06 - Where Are You Applying
Updated (as of...Sept.3):
Early Action: MIT, Caltech, GTech
Regular Action: Duke/Cornell/CMU/JHU (via commonapp), Stanford, Berkeley, debating on BU (any comments on BU? PM me)

I still can't decide what field I want to go to... either
a) EECS (elect eng and comp sci)
b) MechE
c) BioMed/BioInfo E (wetzel's gotten me very excited about BioInformatics -- ask him about it!)

I deviate between these three -- I was set on BioMed until the summer and now I'm just stumped. I just don't want to get bored, I want to get into something hands-on and I want to go into a fresh field -- I plan to get my doctorate eventually and since I'm going to dedicate so much of my time to a field, I want it to be one I love. If anyone has any opinions or advice for me, PM ME, I'd love to get feedback.

So what am I doing?: Finished all of MIT app (minus two optional essays), Did most of CommonApp (minus one or two essays...) but still have to do the additionals, Need to look at Gtech and Caltech's app, studying for SAT and retaking SAT2 (phys and chem) in nov.
What is everyone else doing? How far have you gotten?
