Re: Maryland Colleges
And some suck. If you are interested in engineering, talk to people in the field - ask where they recruit from.Originally posted by CamaroDude
For a PhD, this is largely true. For an undergrad, depends on the company and the school. My department only has a few schools in mind when we recruit.Originally posted by CamaroDude
Here's an example, I picked my undergrad school because it has a great relationship with a large computing firm. As such, that firm did internships and recruited directly from that school. I saw an opportunity for a great hands-on education AND employment. yes it worked out for me and many of my friends.
In addition, this is so much more than just a degree. Do you want to live on or off campus? City or country? dorms or appts on campus? how about money? partying? How is there career placement department? Does the faculty in your area suck ***? Are they well published and respected? How far away from home are you willing to go?Comment

Re: Maryland Colleges
If you want engineering then go to MIT. your already up north and it's one of the best schools in the country and world for engineering.Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.Comment

Re: Maryland Colleges
my thoughts exactly :DOriginally posted by StrtRacer98
And as for the rest, I don't care how far away from home I am. However, the colleges nearest to me are the ones that i know the most about (Which is still very little) and I would have the plus of in state tuition.
I don't really know what I want to do yet so I can't really pick a college based on their relationship with company like a computing firm because I don't want to be restricted to one thing before I can decide what it is I really want to do.
I'm not that worried about money because more than likely I will be able to pay it off eventually if i work hard enough.
I'm just not sure what to do if I don't get accepted into MU. I've got good grades and really good SAT scores so I don't think it will be a problem but its the only place I've a applied for so far and I know its not good to put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak.2002 Red Camaro 3.8L<br />Monsoon stereo with T-TopsComment

Re: Maryland Colleges
yeah, but if your going into engineering your pretty smart already right? Here's a link to a part of their website called open course ware. Basically it's almost every class that MIT offers online and free. Obviously it's not 100% of the class but it gives the syllabus, homework, notes, test, and some have got full videos of the courses. It will give you an idea of the type classes they have and what they can do. Pretty cool site and very edumatactional.

Re: Maryland Colleges
i think you need like a minimum 3.9 gpa...:eek:Comment

Re: Maryland Colleges
damn, 3.8....:(
Its not that I'm planning on being an engineer yet, the field just interests me. I don't have anything that I am currently planning on majoring in so i might try it out. Same with business and programming (although i'm a programming intern right now and i'll just say that i don't think so...).Last edited by CamaroDude; 01-25-2007, 02:21 PM.2002 Red Camaro 3.8L<br />Monsoon stereo with T-TopsComment

Re: Maryland Colleges
So if that's what you want call them up find out if there is anything you can do. I would imagine that if you have other things to back up you up they might be able to work with you.Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.Comment

Re: Maryland Colleges
Maryland always has riots after basketball/football games if they win or lose. So, if you are in to rioting and destorying your town then maybe it will be a good fit for you.
Like speedingfirebird mentioned college is about a lot more then a degree. You walk away with a lot of experiences, friends, memories, and a bond with other alums even though you have never met before. Pick schools that have good programs for your intended major then go visit. Check out the campus, town, people, and activities that are available to you. After I did my visits it was really easy to cross off a few schools.

GPA is only a small part of a large equation. If someone has a 3.8 but possess other qualities, then they can still get in.
As far as a "strict" GPA requirement, I'm skeptical only because every school grades differently.
If dude has a 3.8 he could still get in.Comment

Re: Maryland Colleges
If you are thinking about engineering,..and you love skiing.. you should take a look at West Virginia University Tech. It is within driving distance of many ski resorts in WV. They have a pretty good program from what I've heard and offer a lot of hands on training. Also,..their tuition prices are pretty resonable compared to some other schools. And if you fekt in the partying mood, or wanted to catch some good football games.. it is close to the actual WVU campus in Morgantown. Just giving you some options..here is their link.
