I applied to 4:

• University of Delaware--Mech. Eng--its cheap cause I'm instate, great town and their Eng. department is pretty good

• Drexal--Mech. Eng--I already got accepted which suprised me, its close to home and its Drexal need I say more

• RPI--Mech. Eng--one of my mentors went there and I like the equipment they had

• RIT--Mech. Eng. automovite option--one of my mentors went there and I loved the campus and all the stuff they had

Yesterday was pretty awesome. Recieved a letter in the mail from Norwich University (was accepted back in September) stating I had been awarded a scholarship. A pretty nice scholarship. Half the tuition, renewable for all four years. (That's more than $40,000). I'm psyched!

That was after accepting my team's sponsor's monetary contribution to the team, and before ace-ing my Calculus 1 final exam. Pretty awesome.

Congratulations everyone who has been accepted to colleges.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Well, I've gotten a post card from Sac State telling me that they're processing my application.

And I also got a packet in the mail from the Sac State college of Engineering and CS telling me to join their helpful program.

But I haven't received an acceptance letter yet...

i was accepted to all of the places that i applied to,

University of Toledo (extreeeme back-up)
Michigan State (my entire high school will be going there..ugh)
Kettering University (love it)
University of Michigan (also love it)

now the hard part is deciding where i really want to go...

Yay! Got into MIT early action!

Congrats to everyone else who got accepted, and good luck to those who didn't.

Suggestion for this year's juniors who want to go to MIT: Get into RSI - its awesome and you get to work at MIT for 6 weeks over the summer. The research projects you do there can get you lots of scholarship money.

Wow. Thats incredible. Congratulations.

This wait is going to kill me. I don't know if I can make it until April....

I was accepted to the University of Missouri - Rolla a couple months ago, I will be entering doing the mechanical engineering program. But they recently just approved of a new engineering course that is called Entertainment Engineering, which is what I will probably switch too, since I want to do things in the Amusment Park Industry.

[Pin Man]

anyone going to a state school because they can't afford private ones like me???

Fitchburg State for me...

[MConte05]

UMR is a state-school, thats where I'm headed, but it wasn't really about the money for me....

[jessjank.]

Applying to:
Carnegie Mellon (Early Decision II)
University of Rochester
Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Plus a few safety schools.

Congrats to all those who've already been accepted and good luck to everyone still applying and waiting to hear back!!!

Haha I know the feeling....

I went through the same crap with the Milwaukee School of Engineering a couple years ago and I ended up getting stuck at a regional campus of Purdue University, but thank god i finally worked my way out of there and Im starting at the main campus next week

Cornell will meet any need that you have if you get accepted. Do the FAFSA, find your estimated family income, and Cornell will find you money above and beyond that.

Also, why not get a FIRST scholarship? About $500,000 went unclaimed last year because no one applied. Free money unclaimed.

If your family earns less than $40,000/yr, Harvard will give you a free ride.

Then again, I'm biased towards going to Cornell because I live here and want to get out.
