I happen to know that the_templar is not old enough to be looking at grad. | ||

 looks like you're going for engineering though (based on CMU/tech schools)? State's probably stronger than Duke in that regard :pI'll brag on behalf of my brother, who (after being deferred early -> accepted by Stanford) got in everywhere he applied!... except waitlisted by Harvard, loooool. Harvard admissions = wat ofc the main reason I'm happy he got into Stanford (other than their excellent CS program) is that if he goes there he'll be close to me when I'm working next year  | ||

MIT Caltech Waitlisted: Washington and Lee Accepted: Michigan State Michigan Tech Michigan College of Engineering. My dad went to Michigan and my brother is there now so that has been basically my plan all along. I got a 34 on the ACT which was much higher than I expected and I had a 4.0 GPA so I decided to go through the process of applying to MIT and CalTech and I managed to get GPA/ACT/SAT I/SAT II all in their middle 50% but I didn't get in. There was no way I would be able to afford those anyways but I think it was a good experience to try. IDK maybe It came down to my lack of extra curriculars since I basically only do NHS and quizbowl. Anyways Michigan is a top 10 engineering school and the instate tuition is an absolute steal so GO BLUE! | ||

Good school and not that expensive compared to a lot of places. Actually, I'm more of a math guy. Engineering seemed interesting though. Also got accepted into UNC and rejected from John Hopkins | ||

If there is anything you want to know about the CoE, I can probably answer any questions you might have. I do Computer Science myself, but I know people in almost all the departments. Can't wait to have you here next fall! | ||

Here's a question, do you know much about the UROPs or what people who have done them say? They sound like a good experience. BTW I'm planning on doing material science but really I could change to anything. | ||

I'm also a sophomore The general opinion of UROP is that its certainly better than not doing research, but you're way better off talking to a professor and trying to find a research assignment by yourself. UROP is useful if you can't do that, but they make you jump through a lot of hoops, and you end up doing a lot of paperwork/busywork on top of the research. | ||
