Honestly, I’m kind of surprised I didn’t get in, but luckily it was not my first choice. Not sure what to recommend other than make sure you apply early - as I have heard you have a higher chance because of the low class sizes admitted. Best of luck to everyone who got in!

This school looks great! I can’t wait to visit in a few months. I was also accepted(for future peeps) into Penn State, Pitt, UMD-CP, West Chester U. Waiting on RPI, Georgia Tech(Deferred from EA), Brown, and Carnegie Mellon U. The merit Scholarship lowers the total cost to the total cost of Penn State–which is still expensive, so I’m really hoping to become a Harvey Scholar!
During my Harvey Scholar interview, the four interviewers were very nice and had broad experiences to describe which made me more attracted toward this program. One particular person was a senior mech E who travelled to iceland to see all forms of power plants and study related to them which sounded amazing!
Does anyone know how the Free 1XXX Elective for AP Credit works?
Congrats! I just got accepted a few days ago. I am so excited!

Does anyone know what the admitted student social media is? I thought it was on Facebook, but I could be wrong.
It’s facebook. If I remember, you request entrance to the group and then get in, although I don’t know much about Facebook since I solely made it just for this lol
