Nice! I'm a Big Red fan myself. If you want any contacts up at Cornell let me know (a lot of family alumni).

I'm going to USC in the fall. If there are any FIRSTers that want to room, let me know.

University of Toronto for me Off to Canada!

I'll be attending Kettering this fall where I'll be studying Computer Science and Engineering.

A or B section? Im guessing B since you said fall and A section starts in July.

CS CE dual major? How is the search for a Co-op going? Glad to see even more FIRSTers coming to KU.

KU '11 (CS)

Stanford 2014. Right now I'm leaning toward bioengineering, but computer science, electrical engineering, and just about EVERYTHING at Stanford sounds so cool that I'll probably waffle until I absolutely have to

Good choice. I was at a summer camp at Rose over the summer and i wasn't all that impressed.

Personally I am headed to Michigan Tech. It's cool to see several other first guys headed that way.

Actually A. I want to be in Flint/close to home for build season. I was going to try and switch to B (originally assigned to A) then I realized that in order to be here for build season, I'd need to stay with A.

I'm not 100% sure on the CS CE dual major, but it's going to be one or the other. And Co-op isn't going too great. Something to do with studying for AP tests, which has consumed a large part of my waking hours. That, and Facebook...

Merrimack College for electrical engineering or computer science.

I heard from a person currently attending Kettering who used to be a FIRST member that A section rules compared to B. You have any idea why? Or did I get it mixed around? Was it B better than A or... Now I am just getting confused.

Since it is the rare student who does both sections...there is really no way to determine which section rules. But as a former B-section student married to a former A-section student, I'll just say that both sections provide a top-notch education!

So, let me summarize that for everyone, A-Section is better.* Of course, I am not biased at all


*No, really, there is no difference. I have friends on both sections (and friends who have done both sections). Academically they are no different. Now, each section probably has its own quirks and feel but they are not comparable.

I suppose I'll be another oddball of the group since I've matriculated at Harvard College...don't quite know what I want to do with my life: I'm a mess like that.

Of those who are considering mentoring in the Boston area, the NUTRONS (125) is losing quite a few college mentors (~7) this year so it'd be nice to have a few replacements. They kids come from all over the city so they're (we're?) an eclectic bunch .

I agree with the posters who've suggested trying something new and not immediately delving back into FIRST at least during freshman year of college (y'all have till January to decide )...But the Boston Regional is a stellar event so please do volunteer! (Wednesday*/set up day is perpetually lacking manpower, IMO)

*tentative

I look forward to running into some of you, with whom I share a common past, in and around Cambridge/Boston in the upcoming years.

Hey I was just looking through this to see where people are going (I'm a high school senior this year so I'll be applying in the fall) but I absolutely LOVE Embry-Riddle and will be applying there!! I only know three people that go there or will be going this year, and one of them I was only acquainted with, so I'm hoping there's a lot of friendly FIRST alums
