College Admissions

I have held off on posting this for quite some time and this will likely remain a draft for a little bit of time at any rate.

My senior has been actively thinking about college since the summer between her sophomore and junior year.  She has visited all of the Colorado schools she was interested in.  She made a West Coast and Midwest trip to narrow down applications.  Most recently she has been flying around the country for admitted student tours.

She has at times been interested in material science, mathematics, aerospace engineering and electrical engineering.

In the end the applied to:
  1. MIT (rejected)
  2. Cal Tech (rejected)
  3. Johns Hopkins (rejected)
  4. Colorado School of Mines
  5. University of Colorado - Boulder
  6. Colorado State University
  7. New York IT - Long Island
  8. Case Western Reserve - 2nd?
  9. Purdue - Indianapolis
  10. Worchester Polytechnical Institute - 3rd?
  11. Washington University - St Louis - 1st?
  12. UC Irvine
  13. UC Berkley (rejected)
  14. Cal Poly
  15. Stevens
  16. US Air Force Academy (medical DQ)
  17. US Naval Academy (accepted, pending medical waiver) - notified 4/19
  18. US Merchant Marine (medical DQ)
She also applied for, but did not receive the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship, ROTC Scholarship and others.  

The big reveal was April 15, 2025 when she decided on Washington University in St Louis.
