I am on Army ROTC scholarship, but I can opt out after a year. Not positive if I want to serve or not. Thank you!

Hey guys, I've taken a long break from the forum by I've decided on a college and major. I'm attending the Virginia Military Institute as an Applied Mathematics major. I had some questions about where to go from here: This is a link to the math curriculum...

Hahahaha! Well from what I know, adult sea sponges don't move at all (but their larvae can). Interesting points as well, thank you!

Long story short, I'm taking my Intro Biology class/lab right now. My current plan is grad school in a field of Biology, so obviously I've been keeping an eye out for a field that might interest me. We are currently studying Plants and Animals, and I've become hooked on Marine Invertebrates...

Somebody help this dude!

I've also gotten accepted into IU-Bloomington's Applied Physics program. Would this be a better option? I was attracted to Kettering because of the co-ops, but I'm in-state for IU and it would be a lot cheaper I assume. I am interested in materials science/engineering ultimately.

Hey guys, I was just accepted to Kettering University in Michigan for Applied Physics! I really like the school because of its co-op experience, you spend one quarter of the year taking classes, the next in a co-op with a company, and the rotation continues. However, I was wondering how good...

No, there's a pretty large market for Technologists- the bridge between Technicians and Engineers. Purdue is also amazing at getting grads jobs, they have huge career fairs.

I would look into Purdue's Bachelor degrees in engineering technology. They have Electrical, Aeronautical, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Very hands on, but also a lot of theory as well.

High school student! Wow, full tuition?! That's crazy... I'll definitely apply now!

How are their scholarships? I'm out of state so I'd need some cash, 3.83 GPA/29 ACT

New Mexico Tech seems like an awesome school, thanks for posting this! I'm thinking of applying!

I submitted my CommonApp to Purdue on August 1st (the day it opened) and my recommender got his recommendation in around August 20th. It worked fine for me... You're only "submitting" the part you do. The school will wait to review it until your recommendation is in. Submit it!

You're a a little late. The EA deadline has passed for Purdue, so there will be limited Engineering spots and you won't be considered for merit aid if you apply now. But if you want it bad enough, go for it.

Thanks, Student. Does the NSA and other agencies recruit at most state flagships, or is it more preferable to go to a top engineering school?
