If I have one piece of advice to give to the Class of 2011, here it is: Start your essays early! If you wait until school starts and the homework starts piling on, you will be even less motivated to work on them! Make these last few days of summer count! Then when you are done sending out the applications and have to start working on scholarship essays, it won't seem nearly as bad.

That being said, I should probably be packing instead of posting on CD. It turns out it's really hard to fit your whole life on a 20gb iPod.

Summer? What is this summer thing you speak of? I've been in school for 2 and a half weeks already! Today my technical teacher did the annual "Senior Field trip" where he brings us up to the front office to fill out applications for appointments with the county's financial aid advisers.

Rochester is awesome!! It's only 4 hours north of my family that lives in NY. It's my "NY Safety" school, in case Clarkson doesn't work out, like UCF is my "FL Safety" if FIT doesn't work out :-D

After observing the senior year process for a few go rounds, I think a survival kit should be given out containing these items:
bumpers
safety goggles
crash helmets
(in school colors of course)
These are for all the looming deadlines that zoom in from every direction.

I also think seniors going through the process should be given daily doses of generous smiles and treats of their choice. KK's, awful-awfuls, White Castles, and chocolate chip cookies come to mind.

Feel free to share the crash helmets with your loved ones. Snacks, too...
Rock on '07

I'm probably applying to (in some order):

• WPI
• Rose-Hulman Institute
• University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
• Michigan Tech

BTW, am I a "transfer student" if I'm dual-enrolling?

No, you are not. I have taken several engineering courses while I was in high school as dual enrollment (also some summer programs). They trasfer the credit as college credits once you graduate from high school. Also, please make sure you have got the credits under you name once you start college (some college might not accept the credits you have, so you might want to check on that too).
