College Acceptances

[demosthenes2k8]

Going to Rochester Institute of Technology to major in Computer Science.

Also accepted to Marist College, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and University of New Hampshire. Waitlisted at RPI and WPI.
(I should probably post this AFTER I send in the payment...whatever.)

[R1ffSurf3r]

I was accepted to the US Air Force Academy summer seminar but who knows how actual admissions will go.

If you're planning on going to Purdue, be sure to check out the Purdue booth in St. Louis. I'll be there talking to folks on Thursday and part of Friday. Also be sure to check out Purdue FIRST Programs (PFP) once you get here in the fall. We'd love to have you join the student organization and help mentor local teams.

Same with me. I will most likely go to University of Minnesota for Music Education. Still been in FIRST for entire four years pushing the team's envelope, and I've always wondered why I was investing my time in FIRST. However, it's all been worth it.

[Grim Tuesday]

Anyone who is going to Cornell or IC is welcome to come mentor team 639!

[Chris is me]

And of course, if you go to RPI you better mentor 2791.

[M.Wong]

University of Michigan LSA.

Didn't go for engineering as I'm not sure if engineering is the right path for me (you'd think after four years of FIRST I'd know).

[blayde5]

I got into Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, U. of Michigan, UCLA, RPI, USC, and Case Western.

Unfortunately I'm still deciding between Berkeley, Michigan, and CMU but I shall be visiting Michigan next week so hopefully after that I'll make my final decision! Right now it looks like I'll be majoring in Mechanical Engineering at CMU unless Michigan changes my mind

Anyone know teams from the CMU area (Pittsburgh)?

[big1boom]

Accepted at Michigan Tech, University of Illinois, Missouri Science and Tech, Colorado School of Mines, CU-Boulder, WPI.

Heading to Michigan Tech for MechE

[rahilm]

Going to UC Berkeley

Also got into UC Davis, Cal Poly, CMU, WPI, and waitlisted at CalTech

[Alex Dinsmoor]

I'm attending Michigan Tech this fall for Computer Science!

[Navid Shafa]

I'll be going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott Arizona next year. I'll be studying Mechanical Engineering. If you are also going to ERAU in AZ, please check out this thread:

Can't wait, hope there will be other FIRSTers going!

Usually a good idea to settle into college. But volunteering at regionals is still a great option to stay connected.

There are many Texas teams that need help.
