What are applicants saying?
Ranked #32 overall, do I really have a 100% chance of getting in? I took off the fact that I was hispanic, and the chance went down to 50%. This is one of my top choices, I would love to go here

Planning on Applying ED - SCS
December 13 2009
A great university with a GREAT engineering department... Doesn't offer bioengineering as a separate major, which severely dulls appeal.

Father's Alma Mater,
Target: It's a school I've known I was going to apply to since a young age, but I can't say it's at the top of my list. A great school with a great engineering program, but not as well rounded as I'd like.
