I'm not familiar with those specific programs, but if you're a girl who have a huge advantage at any engineering sort of program. and your stats look good. MIT has one called Women in Technology for females after junior year.

Vtoodler,
I have heard of ESP because my son applied. He is a soph,, African American, with stats similar to yours. I have never before, seen a posting by anyone else who is familiar with ESP so I don't know how hard it is to get into.

What's Avante Garde and Brown Bag Book Club? They sound interesting.

I'll cross my fingers that both of you get in. Good luck!

Vtoodler,
Did you get a call today from ESP? They were calling candidates (presumably finalists) and interviewing them.
Good luck to you!
