Advice anyone? I need to postmark everything on May 1st... EEP!

You were accepted to Olin, and you are unsure of where you want to go!?!?! Oh, my! Without a doubt..... Olin! The experience within itself would be more than amazing, and if they don't have something that you specifically want to study, take it up in graduate school.

Seriously.... it would be a wonderful opportunity, I missed a chance at going just slightly. Best wishes to you, wherever you choose.

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

I heard somewhere that Olin is not an accredited university.

Other than that, it sounds great!

Who can turn down full tuition

No, Olin's not yet accredited. Right now Olin only has a sophomore and freshman class (it's THAT new), and a school can only be accredited once it graduates its first senior class. Therefore, everybody that goes to Olin takes a risk; it's a low risk, as Olin was built on the suggestions for engineering schools and future engineering education from ABET (the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology). If risk-taking and trailblazing aren't your thing, though, Olin's not for you.

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

And if you go to Olin, you get to use Babson's campus a ton (since Olin's in our backyard)...and I personally think it's pretty nice.

Furthermore, it'd be nice to see some CD-ers around

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

Well i'm down to 5 days to chose between Lehigh University and WPI. Both are excellent schools and each has pros and cons in different areas. It's a tough choice.

I'm probably going to go for Biomedical engineering, but potentially may switch to ECE with either a minor or a dual major in business/economics.

I tell you what...my family is split.

My mom actually graduated from a nursing school, but took a lot of classes at Lehigh and my dad actually graduated about 20 miles down the road at Lafayette... If you are looking for a good wrestling program or like good college wrestling, Lehigh is for you

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

I'll be driving a long six hours north to RIT (Rochester Inst. of Technology).. probably in some branch of engineering, or criminal justice if my roommate is able to brainwash me..

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

Wow, RIT, My cousin is going there now and paying $40k/year in-state.

As for me, I'm one of the weird people that is involved in FIRST, but not going to an engineering school. I'll be going to Georgia State majoring in Accounting (possible a dual-diploma @ GA Tech in Management), then going for my PhD in law at Georgia State.

Purdue University West Lafayette, I *think* a Management major but I eventually want to double with German. I do plan on mentoring 461.
