Help. FIRST and Ivy Leagues.

[KevinB]

I realize that this thread in, in fact, several months old ... but I wanted to revive it by encouraging all of you to apply to the schools of your dreams! The worst that could happen is that you'll lose a few dollars in application fees.

I got into (and now attend) Harvard and my application was about, you guessed it, FIRST Robotics. Don't think it can't be done.
