Congratulations Emon!

I'm a bit confused,in the US, do you apply for the uni first and then select your course? If so thats the opposite way round to the way they do it in the UK.

Oh yeah, sorry. I was accepted into their computer science program. You usually apply to the whole school, although also to one specific program. And you can transfer, and there's usually stuff if you don't know yet.

I have a college ranking book, and i looked it up since a friend of mine is going to try to go there, and they got a really high rating. Something like 7th of all schools with the highest degree of Masters (the book catagorized by highest degree and then ranked them in that).

Baby Mama's Drama

At U.S. Universities, there is no standard for when one declares one's major. At my University (Central Michigan), you must sign a major after completing 62 credit hours (junior status), before you may register for the next semester. Other schools allow even more time...


Yes, this problem is rampant everywhere. This problem originated in the 1960's. If you payed attention, you'll notice that at any given University, roughly 50% of the buildings were build in the 1960's. The purpose was to accomidate the coming Baby Boomer generation, which would mean a large jump in college attendance, and a jump in income.

As a result, the degree became devalued, so more people needed to get one to hold a job. This cycle has fed itself repeatedly, so now most people come to college only because it is required for them to have any hope of living their Amercian Dream.

This is well demonstrated at my school. CMU is possibly the biggest school for education, producing thousands of grade school teachers each year. Despite having an attendance of nearly 20,000, and roughly 2,000 faculty, there are no significant research programs sponsored here. almost all undregraduates here focuses on their future job, and pays no attention to actual research.

That's why when i'm looking at colleges, i make sure they have an extensive research programs. one of the best i've seen is MIT. They have research projects going on the time, and they even pay you for your time, which you can use to pay of you're student loans. It's a pretty nifty system, IMO. I jsut hope i get accepted.

RIT doesnt have any research really, but thats because its a teaching college with a big emphasis on undergraduate studies, not a research university where the emphasis is on graduate and doctorate work. The professors are always around to answer questions, and are very involved with their classes - they hold extra review sessions before tests, are active in clubs and student organizations, etc.

Also, at every college I visited, I heard nothing but bad things about MIT... Most of it is probably unsubstantiated, but rumors abound of MIT being an extremely stressful environment, and competition between students on research projects is so out of hand that it isnt uncommon for students to sabatoge each others work. But like I said, it probably isnt as bad as those at other colleges would like you to believe.

It's 90 units here at Cal, which is senior status. Even then, there are people who swtich around after that as well.
