And, any Norwich people here? Looks like that is where I'll be next year unless a bigger scholarship comes through. Looking forward to it. =) Guess I'll be helping out team 885.

I got my acceptance letter to NEU a week or 2 ago, but I applied in early december, and other people i know who applied later havent heard anything yet, so i wouldnt be worried. NEU accepted me, but for a different major in a different COLLEGE than I applied for hahahaha classic.

I've decided to go to Salve Regina University in Newport RI, anyway. Woohoo I'm going to college!!!! Gosh only 6 more months.

Georgia Tech (have been accepted)
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer!

If the money thing doesnt work out, Mississippi State is my backup, should be getting a full ride to there.

Yep, just got my acceptance from there as well. I have also just been accepted to the California State Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo.

Now I'm only waiting on MIT and Caltech, the real hard ones.

... It's endorsed by Woodie Flowers!

Good job. When are you crazy kids coming to take over the campuses for Candidate's Weekend?

For those of you who havent read the 80 other threads about Olin & Babson, Olin's land was bought off an undeveloped part of the original Babson College purchase, so we're really in eachother's backyards.
It's definitely different on the weekends when the candidates come, especially since I'm a FIRSTer. I'll be walking around campus, and my "engineer sense" starts going crazy, if you will.

I got back from Olin's Candidates' Weekend yesterday morning. It was a pretty unique experience seeing the small group of people who I could possibly be going to school with this fall. The experience provided a very detailed look at Olin although I am still unsure as to where I want to go. Heck, more than half my schools haven't sent stuff back yet so I'm not worrying yet.

Applied and accepted to Purdue. GO BOILERMAKERS!!!!!!! Hopefully I can become part of the Boilermakers Regional next year now that they have one.

[Joe Matt]

It looks like Miami University, anyone going, I really want to start a new team there, mabey even volunteer at the Boilermaker Regional (wear my MU hat there, see what reaction I get )

[dm0ney]

My list goes sorta like this:

Tier One:
Harvard / Stanford / Caltech
Tier Two:
Cornell / MIT
Teir Three:
University of Michigan

The tiers are as the schools relate to what I want. I'm pretty sure I could go to any of those schools and have a great experience and set me up for the future... but some of those schools seem to fit me more than others.

Currently:
Caltech and UofM = accept
MIT = reject
Cornell and Harvard = within the next weekish
Stanford = two long weeks

Purdue FIRST Programs puts on the regional and we are always looking for student help. It is a year-round process. But if you have time, why not be part of a team? We have two good ones you know (461 and 1646). After the expansion to two teams, we need all of the devoted tech advisors we can get. So keep an eye out for the callout, it is usually right around that first week of school.

Go Boilers
