*SENIORS* Which colleges are you applying to?

[cchen]

Where are you all applying to college??

I'm applying to: University of Maryland at College Park, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Columbia, Cornell, Olin School of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Northwestern

 

[nitrousninja]

I'm in junior college right now as I have to work full time but when I have enough put away I'd like to be able to go to Northwestern or the University of Chicago.

 

[Oscar1613]

im applying to: LSU, Tulane, Loyola (New Orleans), LA Tech, Texas A&M, and possibly Duke and UNC Chapel Hill

 

[worth]

University of California at Berkeley, LA, San Diego, Davis, Stanford , University of Virginia, University of Illinois at Urbana Chamapign (I just like the name )

 

[HansXP]

Arizona State
University of Arizona
Northern Arizona University

No, I'm not from AZ....I live in VT. I just love the climate out there

 

[kpxgq]

UT Austin is da BEST!

 

[erub]

Right now:
Texas
Texas A&M

Pending higher SAT score, cause without it I wouldn't get in:
UPenn
Columbia

Maybes, depending on what I want to do over Christmas:
Vanderbilt
Michigan

Applying to for fun, with no intention of going there (no application fee):
Florida Institute of Technology

Why for fun? Cause the application was a sheet, front, with a checkbox on the back

 

[nater]

well I'm a junior in HS, but I'm looking at MIT if my SAT's are good enough, and Purdue most likely if they're not, since they have a good engineering school and I'm from Indiana...it would be cheap.

 

[erub]

I just don't see the appeal of MIT. College is really supposed to be fun, sure your supposed to learn a lot, but its not supposed to be studying all the time. I don't think I could deal with the competitive atmosphere that well. I'm not entirely convinced that a towards the top graduate of a top enginnering state school (like UT/A&M, its top 10) would be worth less than a mid-back graduate of MIT in the workplace either.

 

[SWScorch]

Rochester Institute of Technology
SUNY Fredonia
SUNY Tech @ Utica/Rome
Geneseo

I'd like to go to MIT, but seeing as A) I'm not the best student and B) my family is poor, I dont think I have even the slightest chance there.

 

[Hubris]

I think this is my final list. Never know, though: Harvard, Dartmouth, Amherst, Princeton, Williams, and Swarthmore. Except for Hardvard, they're all relatively small schools in suburbs. I detest cities. /me shudders

 

[Rainsford]

Go to Iowa State University. It has a good range of engineering programs, it's pretty cheap (even for out of state students). Plus Ames, Iowa isn't a bad city either.

Edit: Sorry this was a little off topic, but I thought I'd throw out some suggestions.

Might you mean, Rochester Insititute of Technology, and Fredonia? To my knowledge there is no such thing as Rochester Institute of Fredonia...
Geneseo is about 10 minutes from my house. Decent school, small town. What degree are you looking into? RIT and MIT are engineering schools, while Fredonia and Geneseo are liberal arts mostly.

What exactly is the purpose of applying to 10 schools anyway? Isn't that a bit much? Especially because each application is $30-50 each.

I'm applying to Binghamton University and RPI btw.

 

[PhiI2e]

FIT Florida Institute of Technology (10 minutes away)
FAU Fla Atlantic Unversity
RIT Rochester Institute of Tech

MIT is too hard and Carnegie Mellon is too expensive

 

[ed21x]

well, i'm a first year student at Berkeley Engineering, i just wanted to say that schools like CalTech, HarveyMudd, Dessert Springs are all much harder to get into then the likes of MIT, Harvard, by the mere fact that those specialized institutions only accept a couple hundred kids a year... scary. but for that 8-1 teacher-student ratio, you'll be in for one heck of a good education.

 

[Capn]

jaydee, yeah RPI!

<--- graduating from the former in december

 

[Martin]

University of Toronto...Engineering.....WHOOHOO

 

[worth]

ed21x, could you turn on private messaging, I want to ask you some questions

 

[nirgis]

Hehe my list is very different than the rest of you:

Carelton, Grinnell, Knox, Kalamazoo, Oberlin, Swarthmore

All small liberal arts colleges!

If only they had a decent connection rate...

D'OH! I fixed it... I'm such a doofus.. Yeah, I meant RIT.... silly me. Anyway, I live right outside of Rome NY. I'd tell you the exact town I live in but chances are you won't have ever heard of it. I'm looking into a Computer Engineering or IT degree. RIT is my main choice. I am looking at Fredonia because it has a decent program where I could get an Information System degree, and then transfer to an Engineering school like RIT for an engineering degree. As for Geneseo, I really haven't looked into it much, but my guidance counselor said they have a nice Computer course there.

 

[churchdoesmatter]

UC:

- Berkeley
- LA
- Santa Barabara
- Irvine
- San Diego
- Riverside

CSU:

-San Luis Obispo

 

[worth]

pokemonlover, could I ask why you are applying to both Riverside and Berkeley? Those two colleges seem to be complete opposite of each other, don't you think those are too many UC's?

Also, are you applying to Berkeley - Engineering?

 

[aolsuxs]

For Sure

UC Davis
University of Nevada-Reno


Possible:
UC San Diego
Washington in Saint Louis
Any other good UC's in Biological Sciences/BioTech/etc.

I don't think I'd count on Geneseo for anything computer related...

I've been through Rome, but I probably wouldn't recognize the name. I thought you might be closer to Geneseo. The Fredonia plan sounds good. Also community college for 2 years to get all the crap courses out of the way isn't a bad idea. For state schools, Binghamton is the best for engineering. RIT is well known for their IT program though, I have heard it might be tough to get into. RPI gives good financial aid I hear.
