fishface617, [gx]Shadow goes to RPI. I don't know if you know him, but he's slightly less active now-a-days. He was a modeler back in the day for CE projects.

Anyway, I applied to:
Coast Guard Academy
Wheaton (Illinois, not MA)
Gordon
Grove City

I was going to apply to more, but I got kind of lazy after I found out I got into the CGA, which is my top pick. Shipping out to Swab Summer June 29. :X

Carnegie Mellon isn't the best choice for some one going into engineering. :|

*Unless FleetAdmiralBacon has anything to say about it. The jerk probably went there and fixed up all their courses just to prove me wrong.

Depends on the engineering. Computer Engineering? Most definitely a top pick.

Here's a more complete list for me:
MIT
Case
Rensselaer
Ohio State University*
Ohio Northern*
Northeastern
Dayton*

* I have been notified by these colleges already and offer significant sums of money.

Out of curiosity what does your extra-circular look like because I have seen kids from my school get rejected from MIT with 1500's (out of 1600) and 5.5 (6.0 scale) GPA's; however, I have none of their extra-circular information and personally I will try to crank it into over-drive this summer. I am applying there too, but from what I have heard is that you can literally ace the SAT/ACT and have a straight A+'s but still not get in without that extra flair that says "I am Mr. Fantastic!" (Da-NuhNaNah!!) I am not saying this to put you down nor anyone, I don't believe that I will get in and I have no idea as to what anyone else has for grades/scores/extra.

Also if anyone can point out any good Engineering/Math/Science/CompSci schools much appreciated. I want to broaden my list. :D

That makes sense. Sarcasm!

Also, MIT and Stanford are more or less impossible to get into, so I wish you luck, but I don't care who you are when I say this: don't get your hopes up too high.

Ah, but every year ~1,600 people make it in to MIT as freshmen. Maybe I'll be one of those this year.

Finishing up my sophomore year at the University of Dallas. I am a math major but plans are to get my masters in computer science, then possibly off to become a biostatistician. I will probably graduate when some of you folks will be graduating for the first time.

Just had a meeting with my counselor about where to apply next year and majors and all that... so apparently I'm best suited for Rensselaer. But the price tag... :|

Got into Daniel Webster. For whatever reason, they are giving me $10,500 a year based on my performance (eh, my 2.4 GPA).
Not complaining one bit haha, covers pilot costs (certifications, etc.).
