Class of 05: Where are You Applying?

[Alaina]

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...

[Wetzel]

I'm applying to the VCU School of Nursing.

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....

[MConte05]

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.

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.

Has anyone gotten a response from Stanford yet?

*Pacing back and forth nervously*..

[KimT]

I applied to seven schools:

Scripps College
Stanford University
George Washington University
Washington University in St. Louis
Duke University
University of Pennsylvania
Denver University

and a foreign exchange program to spend a year in Germany, but I won't hear from any of them until late March and early April. It would be driving me crazy if I were letting myself think about it, but I still have scholarship apps to finish, and robotics is starting in two days, so by the time I remember that I'm going to college next year, it'll be less than a month until I start hearing from them.

University of Michigan-Flint
University of Michigan-Dearborn
Specs Howard-maybe

And I'm not really sure where else yet.
