HS and college seniors: where are you going next year?

[Ryan Foley]

To all you highschool seniors/ college seniors out there:

Well I'm guessing most of you have your college/ grad school applications already sent in, and probably have heard back from a few. So where are you going next year, and for what major?


I'm going to UMAINE (Orono) for mechanical engineering


PS: If anyone else is going to UMAINE Orono please email me at FOLEYMAN327@aol.com

Well I'm off to join the navy. You'd be supprised at how many people are against it though... But they can all eat my shorts for all I care.

joining the US Air Force sometime in the fall. something about going to lackland in texas in the summer for basic that just doesnt appeal to me. i will get some college credits there, and after i get out, or during it, depending upon the situation, i will go for my college degree, probably computer engineering or electrical engineering, and i might get one and work for the other later in life.

only regret about the USAF is that i might not be able to come back as analumni for my team, they are a sorry bunch of people, but they grow on you and i know i will miss it...

you know, i never realized what first did for me till i am about to lose it. hopefully i can rejoin later, but first years, rookies, make sure you make the most of your time, because you think its so far away now, but it goes quickly. cherish what you have and you should never have to look back in shame....

So far I've been accepted by UC Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, WPI, and Clarkson.

Rejected by UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UCLA, UC Davis, and Cal Poly.

Waiting to hear from Stanford, University of the Pacific, Santa Clara University, and UC Berkeley.

I'll be at Michigan Technological University (MTU) up nort' in Houghton, MI next year!! Majoring in scientific and technical communications with a concentration in english, and possibly with a minor in journalism.

Anyone else going to Tech (especially a gal looking for a roommate!) PM me and let me know!

I'm going up to WPI next year. Majoring in mechanical engineering.

Awesome! So am I.

I have been accepted to Cal poly San luis Obispo, San jose State University, San diego State University, Long Beach state University, and Cal State Northridge....all for mechanical engineering.....but luckily there are first teams near all those schools, so even if i leave the robodox i'll still b involved with first.

So, heard back from everywhere but Berkeley (which posts online tonight)

accepted to University of the Pacific, rejected by Stanford, waitlisted by Santa Clara.

Anyone actually know where theyre going? Most of us just have lists of where we've been accepted/rejected.

I'm going to UC Berkeley!
Hooray!

[Pierson]

Accepted to WPI, RPI, and BU, with merit scholarships at WPI and BU.

Seeing as I've been, well, hunted down at two regionals by current WPI students, I'm not sure if I have any say in where I go anymore :-p.

Regardless of where I go, probably majoring in some sort of Computer/Electrical Engineering.

Yeaaaaaa Iannnn!! That's hilarious. My buddies got back from Philly and were like, 'yea so we talked to this guy with a WPI hat on at Philly, and he said he had already been confronted by others at LI.' We are everywhereee, hence the slogan "WPI was there..." (see 12 most notable developments to come out of WPI.. traffic engineering and suspension bridges and airbags and stainless steel anyone?)

And you better get used to Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), not the other way around if you are gonna be at WPI. (Learn those acronyms early! We've prolly got at least 200 of em!)

Ahhh!!!! They're still after me!!!

:-p

Yeah, at Philly it was kind of random, cause I didn't see them till they came up to me, at least at SBPLI I saw you guys wandering around all day so I wasn't surprised when you hunted me down. As for acronyms, well, English isn't my thing, so names don't mean much to me, as long as I learn what I want to learn ;-).

I'll be going to either one of five schools Oakland University, EMU, Ryerson, or UDM for Architecture. Lawrence Tech for Architectural Imaging. I'd prefer to go to Lawrence Tech though.
