Pretty self-explanatory. I'm just wondering where the interweb's resident intellects (apparently) don't get enough mental stimulation.

Me? I applied ED to Haverford College. I should hear this Monday.

Really?

I'm applying for Swinbourne, Melbourne, and Deakin U here.

Also applying for MIT in America, and maybe also for Harvard and Dartmouth if I get a really good SAT next year.

MIT isn't all that great of an undergraduate school. Yea, it is the leading tech school for graduates --and they do like to accept alum. for graduate school-- but the UG program isn't as awesome as you might think.

I applied, but never did any of the application process --interview, etc. Wound up going to Rensselaer Polytechnic. Though, mostly because MIT's Astronautical Engineering dept. isn't a very large program.  

Probably wouldn't have gotten in anyway. You need to have done a TON of extra-curricular work in the field of science or engineering.

edit:
Just to clarify, I am not claiming that MIT's undergrad program is easy or easy to get into, and especially not that it doesn't put out good engineers. Just that it isn't the mecca of engineering as most people view it as.

Just to clarify, by "college" I mean university-level schools. I know that in some parts of Europe (at least) "college" is highschool. Such is the case in France, I think.

I find out MIT early action tomorrow at 6PM -_-

I got into SFSU, and I applied to UC's Berkeley and Santa Cruz.  Also, depending on MIT results, any combination of some of these: Cornell, Caltech, RPI, CMU, and Stanford.

I won't be disappointed if I don't get into MIT.  No lie, though: it looks like a really fun place to learn.  College is college, though, when everything is boiled down.

In england it goes:

Primary school (ages 5-11)
Secoundary school (11-16)
College (usually, 16-18)
Uni, (18+)

Not sure yet, only just my started A-levels.
Just come back from a Forensic science taster two day course at Nottingham university which was excellent so that's a definite possibility I suppose.

I'm doing Software Engineering at University of Waterloo, Waterloo, On. It's probably one of the best schools if not the best in Canada for Engineering + Computer Science, But I don't know how much those outside of good ol' Canada have heard about it.
