Go to Post I think that everyone should just take a step back and look at the whole picture, FIRST is a family, not an organization full of regions, we all try to help each other, not 'cause it benefits us, but because it's graciously proffesional. - Mike Schroeder [more]

Re: I'm an MIT Admissions Officer. Ask me Questions!

very much so. thank you Don. it's always nice to hear from those that have so much more experience than I do.

I've done a bit of research and some thinking, and I've decided that MIT's probably not the best fit for me, and I'll probably end up staying more local. it looks like Cambridge and the surrounding area is a lot more densely populated than it is out here, and to be honest being around lots of people really stresses me, and I think part of me really only wanted to go to MIT because it's MIT, and well, you know...

I'm currently looking at CSU in Fort Collins instead as a primary choice, where I'll probably study mechanical engineering and then master in biomechanics, which is about what I would have done elsewhere. also, I grew up in the area and the town's a pretty good fit for me, and the engineering program is still quite good. both of my parents received engineering degrees from CSU, and I know they do a lot of alternative energy research and such there as well, plus this way I get to stay closer to family

it occurs to me that the original purpose of this thread wasn't exactly what it ended up accomplishing for me, but I would like to thank the lot of you for actually making think about a bit more than the school, and maybe this will help someone else who's in the same boat
