FIRST Class of 2014, Where are we going?

[valkyrie2240]

I'm not a senior, but this is my third and last year of doing FIRST (as a student). I've been accepted to a boarding school in Switzerland with an awesome scholarship. They were impressed with my experience in robotics and my interest in STEM. Being on a FIRST Robotics team definitely pays off!

This thread is a great idea.

Schools I was considering: Drexel University, Carnegie Mellon University, WPI, Rutgers University, Rowan University, Cedarville University.

I ended up applying early decision to Grove City College for Electrical Engineering, and just received my letter of acceptance today. Grove City College is a smaller school, probably not well known around here, but they still have an excellent engineering engineering program in an outstanding environment.

I'm applying to the following schools:

MIT, University of Michigan (AA), University of Illinois (UC), University of Minnesota.

Already got accepted to UMN, though it was kinda a gimme because I've been taking classes there for the last five years.

EDIT: Also, mods probably want to move this to the colleges/universities section, where it would be a better fit.

This is too funny, only because that was exactly my list, 34 years ago. I was a NM semifinalist with an A average, but too lazy to write an essay. When I found out that MSU didn't require an essay, and they had what looked like a nice honors program, I applied, was accepted, and that was that. 4 years later I had my Biochemistry/Physiology degree, and set off into the wide world. Go Moo U! (I hear they also have a pretty good video game development program now, so I've tried to get my son to apply, but he's not interested in anything east of Colorado.)

FYI, I later became a computer programmer, then went to law school, and am now a very happily self-employed lawyer on Kauai, and mentor of the Kauaibots (go 2465!).

SO I had to laugh out loud when I read this list!

By the way, my son has applied to USC (his first choice), UC Santa Cruz, University of Denver, UH Manoa (total safety), and Digipen. He wants to do game programming. Was going to apply to Harvey Mudd but decided that his chance of getting in is miniscule. And who am I to fight him when he says he doesn't want to write more essays? ;-) No responses yet....
