Goal: Aerospace or mechanical engineering online masters programs at the following schools:
Purdue, Georgia Tech, UOI Urbana, Texas A&M, UT Austin, Penn State
Company is paying for most of my education
Because I’m not requesting any money (financial aid) from these schools, I expect them to be less picky for me especially because I’ll be an online applicant (distance learning). Is this misguided?
