The only people IMO with a better chance than you are RSI kids and international olympiad winners!

Kitman,
you should have a very competitive application. Can you nail down what type of engineering you would be interested in? I think you need to start looking at individual departments as well as the school in general.

Other schools to look at: Northwestern, CMU.

Also - if money is a factor, look carefully at the finaid policies. If you will need merit aid, you have to look at schools that offer it!

Do you go to South?

Hah is that B cause of the stupid project adventure thing?

By Vancat (Vancat) on Sunday, October 10, 2004 - 05:45 pm: Edit

No, Kitman goes to North. And yes, the B is because of that stupid project adventure thing.
