Hey! Illinois Tech! Woo!!

I'm going for Architectural Engineering, but still!

[BriteBacon]

I'll be going to Lake Superior State University for undecided engineering but I'm most likely going to pick computer engineering.

[E Dawg]

Colorado State University for Computer Engineering.

[puneeth.meruva]

MIT or Duke for Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and potentially Biomedical Engineering.

I plan on going into aerospace engineering at GT or Michigan. That's why I'm so stuck, their programs are extremely comparable (#3 and #2 nationwide respectively), and I loved visiting both.

Who is #1?

[puneeth.meruva]

I'm pretty sure it's MIT

Maybe I'm biased (GT'05), but GT has an expansive undregrad research program. What major? I did EE and got to do AI/Optics research in semiconductors. They also have a fantastic nanotech lab I keep getting alumni emails about.

It is MIT, but I didn't get in there. Congrats to anyone who did, as I personally know of a few geniuses who were rejected. When you're comparing top 5 (or probably top 10 for that matter) engineering schools, I'm not sure job placement and opportunities are affected much by subtle changes in ranking. I got a slightly better vibe off of my visit to GT, and their facilities are amazing as well. I don't think you can beat a rec center built for the Olympics in terms of campus life/amenities.

I'm pretty biased as well, sent you a PM with some thoughts.


If anyone out there is coming to Michigan or thinking about it, I'd be happy to answer questions or provide advice.

MIT is #1 in every engineering discipline it offers

If anyone has questions/wants to discuss MIT, send me a message. I loved MIT and would go back there in a heartbeat, but I will be honest with you about the less glamorous aspects of MIT life as well.

Granted all my scholarships come out in a positive way, I will be at WPI for Computer Engineering.

[connor.worley]

Anyone with questions about UC Berkeley, feel free to message me.

[bam-bam]

Feel free to message any of the mentors currently donning a Purdue team flair (461, 1646, 1747, 4272) about the Purdue FIRST Programs, and any questions about life, departments, opportunities, and more at Purdue.

[DampRobot]

PM/email me for Stanford info or if you want to meet up during admit weekend.
