  • Jan-06-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    I am accepted and received some scholarship money. The cost is still overwhelming though. It is the only thing that I don't like about this school. Then again you also have to consider that it is a private engineering school and that they are 4th in the nation for average starting salary out of undergraduate. It may pay it self back if you work hard.
