no aerospace though is there?
and dam yoberman, that is cheap, though i guess you're instate? or is it a private school?
ITT requirements = pulse
MIT requirements = smart and can put up some serious cash
See this is what homeschooling does to kids!!! (not a crack against homeschooling, just funny)
14's not too young to start doing a little light college shopping, decide what you want to do and shop around. Checking out us news' college rankings is a good start.

Call me down the road when you're 17 and stressing over college and scholarship deadlines and tell me you find it "fun." They are the biggest PAIN IN THE A$$. That having been said, I would look at more schools than just those that are known for tech....a year ago I was all about doing CS or maybe CE but at this point I'm finding that pretty unappealing...your interests will change greatly, so just shop around and find a variety of good schools. It's never too soon to start visiting schools either, and that is bar none the best way to find out about it.
random question 1-on all the college statistic sites (e.g www.review.com), when it says 'average need based grant', does that mean u'd get it every year? or is it just a one off
no im out of state, and it's only cheap because i'll be about 40k in debt from loans when i'm out. my family is poor and i was relatively smart so i get a decent amount of aid.
Actually, I found grad school applications more of a pain in the ass than undergrad apps, although getting interviews from grad school is much more exciting.
well, my parents have saved some, hopefully the 2 funds will have not been screwed by the stock market and will have reached the 10,000 each they are supposed to. I'm also quite smart so hopefully i'll get some grants/aid, though my parents live in AZ, which doesn't have the best schools for engineering, so i'll prolly end up goin out of state

You don't need spectacular scores/grades to get into MIT (I sure did NOT get 1600 on my SATs
However, I don't mean you should find a cure for cancer or anything like that. In high school, I focused more on what was fun for me and not so much on my school work - although just enough to get mostly A's. I taught myself lots of programming languages, computer graphics, internet technologies, UI design, etc etc...
Thank You Very Much
I really appricate your post. This makes alot of since, and defintaly gives me a great point of direction. But other than MIT............. What do you guys think about Lawrence Technological Institute?

havent heard much about that
lol!not much difference between MIT and ITT
A friend of mine graduated from ITT's EET but then went on to U of Michigan's Engineering school and got his Master's there. He's a smart guy, but he kinda decided to blow off the last semester of his senior year in high school + the next 18 months post-graduation by partying very very hearty. In doing so, he lost several academic scholarships, plus several Division II football scholarships. That's what drugs can do if you're not careful!
But going to ITT wasn't a barrier or limitation at all for him. He graduated at the top of his class there and got a great job before graduation. They paid for him to go back to U of M.
I think its more than somewhat of a flawed view to say 'if you go to a school like ITT you're wasting your time and money'.

I would like to get a degree in (i think it is) Computer Buisness Science Technology, if i go to MIT (lol this is funny but where and what is MIT????
Btw: I am working on getting MSCE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and im probably gonna start heading into the whole Cisco area ...Certification and all the reading and learning.
I love this stuff...

*Edit* also..... Is there other better Computer Technology College Institutes other than MIT and ITT-Tech? Which is considered the best?
i dont think there is anything much better then ITT TEch. homeschool reprezent!
there is a lot of 'mythology' that has grown up around MIT. Yes, its a good school--for graduate students. Yes, they do a lot of award winning research--again, with graduate students, and only in some areas. They have a few problems at the undergraduate level: horrible grade inflation, professors who don't like to teach the material, no academically based scholarships (Ivy League), horrible problems with "diversity", and their administration is more geared towards graduate students. I'll give you the same advice (this from a person who applied to MIT out of high school and got in): go to a top-notch school in your state for your undergrad. Undergraduate school is what you make it--they teach the same C++ class at U of ____ as they do at MIT. Work hard, learn a lot in undergrad. THEN, IF you want to go to graduate school, IF MIT is good in your area (and trust me, they're not great in every area), apply and go there for graduate school.
As far as getting in top-notch schools, I think a guy at MIT said it best in an information session I went to:
Kid: Would it be better if I took regular classes and got As or advanced/AP classes and got Bs?
MIT info session leader: You should take advanced classes and get As. Anything less is unacceptable.
And here's another hint about "exclusive" private schools: your chances of being admitted GREATLY increase if 1) one of your parents/close relatives went to said school or 2) your parents make more than $250K a year. Yes, it IS that biased, YES it is that unfair. The alumni bit--which is simply the monetary bit to a university like that--is VERY important. A guy at my high school (who was #2 in my senior class) had a 1550 on his SAT, a 5.1/3.95 GPA (weighted/unweighted), and scored 110, 135, and 140 on the AHSME in his 10th, 11th and 12th grade years (and 3, 6, and 8 on the AIME)... and was rejected from MIT. He called the admissions office to talk... and their response was: "you have no chance of really paying the tuition, so it wasn't in our best interests".

thank you for your post....getting something other than an A (a+) and then trying to get into a school like MIT sounds a bit odd to me, it does make sense:

this was exactly what i was going to say... they look for passion, not "does well in class".
