Yipee!

I got back from my college Day on Campus, done signing up for all my classes, etc. (Purdue), and while I was talking to the ROTC Officer, he told me that 80-90% of the cadets wind up receiving full-ride scholarships. After hearing all my qualifications (GPA, major, experience, etc.), He said that I would almost definately wind up with one. Needless to say, this is quite happy news for my parents and myself... out of state tuition is teh major suck.

Just felt like sharing my jubilation

Pretty smooth. I didn't do any testing... I am confident that I did well on my AP tests, and I am going to start from scratch on a new language, so I didnt bother with that. We wandered around a bit, checked out the dorm (Wiley, which is actually very nice), grabbed some lunch, talked to the ROTC guys, signed up for classes, and headed home. I'm looking forward to August

I can't seem to access my schedule on SSINFO.. I donno if they don't have it up yet or something... but I will try to remember the course numbers..

CS 108 (180?)
CS 192 (I think)
ENG 180C (again, I think that's the number.. accellerated english)
MA 165 (Calc I, but once my AP results come in it should be calc II)
SPA 101 (spanish... I hated french, and I figured this would be more useful)
MSL 101 (Military Science and Leadership)

That's correct as far as I can remember... It's like 17.5 credits, so I am going to be pretty busy between coding and ROTC.

You have no idea...unless you're a fast (and good) coder.

I know it's going to be busy... but I have a lot of incentive to keep up (About $100,000 of incentive!)
