Class of '06 - Where Are You Applying

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Well, the class of '05 is getting old, so might as well get started on the Class of '06. It's been my dream, my goal in life, since I started in Chief to start one of these threads and post in it, so here we go! We can always make an '06 Where are you Attending College? Thread later. w00t.

Applying to:

California Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Stanford University
Cornell University
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Purdue University (Safety)

Some have rolling admissions, others have early action. Note: Early Action != Early Decision, thank goodness. Anybody else? Yes, I know school isn't over for everyone yet

[DarkJedi613]

Well I'm not really positive where I'm applying to yet...but I know some of the schools I'm looking at...

Definitly Applying:
RPI
UVA
UMD Baltimore County
SUNY Binghamton

Other Ideas:
RIT
WPI

"Safety" Schools:
Buffalo State Coll of SUNY
SUNY Stony Brook

The three SUNY ones are on the same application so thats why I'm applying to three. (SUNY = State University of New York if you don't know ).

Theres probably some others I can't remember right now too.

I haven't thought about it too much - I still have three weeks of school...

haha i am so not good with school...umm i am going to apply to the following:

University of Nebraska
Southern Illinios University
Northern Illinios University
Univeristy of Oklahoma
Purdue (for buisness)-i prolly wont get in though but maybe
University of Alabama tuscaloosca
Indiana University

Im applying to all the southern schools and big 12 schools because of how good their buisness fields are. so far thats where im applying to. as long as i get outta rolling meadows...i am fine lol

[Pat McCarthy]

I'm thinking of applying to:

University of Michigan (Engineering school)
Kettering
Lawerence Tech
Michigan Tech
Michigan State
and one or two that I've forgotten at the moment

[Beth Sweet]

For real guys, Michigan State is a great place to apply. They have a kick butt Engineering school, pretty much any other college you could want (plug: awesome journalism school: plug). It's really fun, plus there's a budding robotics team thats about to break into the FIRST fantastic teams and possibly a few starting up soon. FIRST is really growing at MSU and we are accepting anyone who is interested as mentors. Plus, it's big ten which means that all of our sports teams kick.

[Daniel Brim]

Definately applying
WPI
Northeastern
Oregon State

Other possibilities
Cornell
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Purdue
Cal Poly SLO

I have some thinking to do over the summer to finalize my list. My resume includes robotics, band, and eagle scout as well as a good gpa. SAT results pending.

[xzvrw2]

Well since if I get a 3.0 gpa and a 21 on my ACT, I get a $32,280 scholarship to Oakland University, I think I am going to apply to OU.

[David Hoff]

I'm applying to Purdue University and will most likely attend there. I may also apply to Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology just for the heck of it.

[Bridgette]

I have an idea of where I want to apply, but I expect my list to change over the summer.

Tufts
MIT
Northeastern
Purdue
George Washington University
University of Rhode Island (Safety)

I'm debating whether to study electrical engineering/french (double major) or maybe journalism or political science (again with a double major in french), so (with the exception of MIT) all the schools I'm planning to apply to would let me study either.

I really like seeing that all of these people are showing an interest in Purdue, its a great school for all sorts of majors and it is pretty well recognized by employers nationally (one of the advantages that some private schools cant give you).

Like Amanda said above, there is plenty of scholarships available through FIRST, so be sure to apply for the Purdue FIRST Scholarship next year.

i hope the class of 06 gets into their school of their dream....so i feel a lil stupid that i never put down any of the schools you all mentioned but that's okay...i'm headed to college so tis all good...right?!?!

great schools ya'll picked though

well good luck....enjoy the college essay writing (i managed to not have to do a single essay for any colleges..only 1 essay for a scholarship )...read over them carefully... grammer and spelling always fun to check...

don't forget about those back up schools...they could be the school you end up at...and if you really don't know where to go stay in state and save your rents and yourself some money...

and do all the scholorships you can... find them and ask your guidence department....

recommendations...ask right away...your teachers have enough work to deal with...and make copies so you have it for other applications...

DEADLINES...ooo those are annoying but important.... set up a calender and star the due dates...paying extra application fees or missing you deadline for early action or whatever isn't very fun....

that's just my 2 cents in about this...but yeah like i said GOOD LUCK!!!!! ENJOY YOUR SENIOR YEAR!!! (i sorta forgot to do that a bit at times..... i never got senioritis...) and congrats for making it this far...only a bit longer...time flies for sure...

[Lisa Perez]

Going along with what Tiff said, MAKE SURE you start and turn in those applications as soon as possible. If you do so, you will more than likely finish most of your applications before school starts, which is definitely a good thing. I remember how stressed a few of my friends were during the school year because they had all these - you don't want that to happen to you.

[Fiona]

Applying to:
Stanford (early action)
Caltech
MIT
Princeton
Washington University in St. Louis
University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
Purdue

and I wanna go into aerospace engineering

So far I've applied to Kettering University and University of Michigan-Dearborn, I've been accepted to both but I haven't decided which I'm going to go to or if I'm going to apply somewhere else.
