Yeah, it's the one I'm thinking of going to. I hope. Purdue is looking really good right now, even though I thought it was a chicken school when I was young.... ;p

Full Sail (orlando, FL)
Boston Institute of Art
San Fransisco Institute of Art

[Lisa Perez]

1. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
2. MIT
3. Stanford
4. University of California - Berkeley


I'd like to go to MIT, but money- and sentimentally-wise, U of M is the way to be. Besides, they're only #2 to MIT in both aerospace engineering and business. Can't ask for more

Don't be so quick to think MIT is too expensive. I got a brochure in the mail about their tuition, and, after financial aid, students are left with about $5000 per year on average in loans. All the rest is paid with grants, scholarships, and work-experience. So $20,000 for four years of some of the best education you can get? Not too bad a deal at all.

I just flipped through the US News college rankings for 2004 and noted that for aerospace, U of M Ann Harbor is #3, not #2. But you know what, IT DOESN'T MATTER. Clooooose enough.

So, anyone else thinking of coming here to Cornell Unversity? Let me tell you from the start that the place is more beautiful than 99.9% of what else is out there. That alone may be motivation to come, in addition to it being an Ivy League school.

[Alaina]

My top choices for applying are:

UC Santa Cruz
Sacramento State
San Jose State
University of the Pacific

Yeah, just local colleges...

*CRINGE* USC.

Kidding aside, good luck to all with their college applications. I may not know a lot about technical FIRST stuff but having gone through the process myself, helping many people apply to all different schoosl in all different fields, and being a freshman counselor, I'm pretty knowledgable with the system. Let me know if my services can be utilized or if there are any college questions in general.

And c'mon people, where's UCLA on people's lists? It's the most applied to University in the world, I thought everyone wanted to come here.

[Bcahn836]

I am currently enrolled in a two year Engineering course at the technology center here in Southern Maryland. Upon completing this course next year i will recieve 13 College credits for the College of Southern Maryland ( CSM). These credits are for various courses at the college toward a bachelors degree in engineering, what kind of engineering I havn't really decided, yet. I have one year to think about it.

I don't normally see Cornell listed as a backup school. If you've got that level of confidence, more power to you.

As an aside, I had a friend who applied to Penn as a backup school thinking it was Penn State. He actually just graduated from Penn this year.
