Cool,

Embry-riddle is a really nice place, have you visited the campus?
And make sure you apply for ER's FIRST Scholarship.

Yeah, I've visited once but only drove around campus so I'm visiting again in the fall. I hope I get in!

Well haven't heard back from U of M yet and today is kind of the last day they have an opportunity to do that, so I'll be attending Purdue University for Computer Engineering.

BOILER UP!

Thanks. I've heard people saying U of M has pushed back their decision deadline once again, so apparently I won't be hearing a definitive "yes" or "no" until next week.

I'm so ticked right now I'm tempted to withdraw my application and just attend Purdue.

Cool! See you there! What made you choose Purdue over other schools?

[r2davis2]

I really wanna do aerospace and didn't like a few of the other options. The closest other choice was U Mich, but they are an extremely expensive school for out of state students, also I like Purdue more ;P

[Bethie42]

Accepted to Oregon State U and LeTourneau U, only two places I applied to. Going to LeTourneau on a full-ride scholarship [I blame FIRST entirely!] and majoring in Computer Sci! Any other LeTU people? Yes, no, probably not?

There is a scheme afoot to get me back to my home regional [Oregon] as one of the college-advocate people, next year [apparently these people wander the pits promoting their college...]

I've read the thread discussing the pros and cons of mentoring FRC in college....I'm pretty sure I won't be mentoring any local teams, at least not in freshman year. [Still, does anyone know of teams in the Longview, or Tyler, Texas area?] Right now I'm planning on keeping in touch with my own team, and helping with organization and stuff like that. They've got the boots on the ground as it were, and as long as they get reminded of important things like hotel booking, STIMS registration, and team updates, they should be fine

[Karibou]

Michigan Tech for Materials Science & Engineering!


Also accepted to Kettering (the only other school I applied to), but I liked MTU's program better.

[flyingcrayons]

Going to Rutgers University to major in Finance.

I love FIRST, but i realized that engineering is not something i want to do for the rest of my life, and i would rather do something business-related
