I'm applying to the University of Science, Music, and Culture. Also know as the United States Marince Corps.

I'll be leaving for bootcamp sometime next April (of '05). I'm gonna do MOS 5831 - Military Police/Corrections. After my 4 or 6 years, I plan on coming home and attending the local community college to get some sort of degree in Criminal Justice, then using the GI Bill to put me through a police academy. After that, I apply to the police departments I like and the rest should be history.

Clarkson - Mech. engineering
Canton - Motor Sports Performance and repair
Rochester Institute of Technology
Alfred State
Monroe Community College

Well i'm gonna apply at a trade school, like ITT tech or Devry or somethen like that.

[Yan Wang]

Is anyone applying to Caltech?

They require, in the essays part, for you to put 'something interesting' in a 7" x 7.5" box. No CDs, URLs, etc. I found it much harder to think about what to put in there than what to write an essay about.

Yea, I'm applying there, and I still don't know what to put in there.

I've got my MIT interview on Friday, so I've been reading up on a couple of tips for that, but otherwise I've still got a lot of work to do.

[Joshua May]

Well, I just got my admissions letter from MIT. I've been deffered to regular admissions.

I have, however, been accepted to Tulane, which is a very nice backup.

This whole process is so stressful. ugh

I've decided to change my school recently (pretty much).

I'm planning on going to Henry Ford Community College (if anything, to just get all my requirements done [math, english, etc...]). Then, I might transfer to ITT (if I go into the computer field), or I'll be going straight into journalism.

MIT only sends acceptance letters to like 2% of their early applicants. The rest get differed to the regular applicant pool. So I wouldn't worry too much about getting differed.

I am applying there .. I am putting a picture of Aum , my family, and the picture of Banting, Best, and the first diabetic dog that was successfully treated with insulin, all linked to a picture of me. Those are the three things that have had the most impact on me. Aum because of my belief in Hinduism and what it represents to me, my family for obvious reasons, and Banting because my diabetes is such a huge part of me and who I have become.

I was deferred from MIT too (got into Penn State & WPI). My friend at Boston Latin, who moved there from Ithaca in 8th grade, was deferred from MIT too. He forwarded me an email from his interviewer. Here's an excerpt:

Just to let you know, most of the early applicants were deferred this year, because MIT had a much higher yield last year and the admission office does not want to over-admit this year again. So the admission rate for early action is particularly low this year.

[Jake177]

So they accepted even fewer people this year? That 2% was from 2 years ago when I applied early and was differed. I don't see the point of them even accepting early applications if they are going to differ most of them anyways.

Have an unaccredited physics department.

Now who else besides Joseph is looking at VCU? We've hosted a regional going on 6 years now, scholarships for FIRST students, ENGR 472 - Mentoring FIRST, (not a major only class), and a growing campus! What more could you ask for?

Any questions shoot me a PM.
