<p>Premed 123, my son also applied to RPI, University of Hartford, UMASS Amherst, UCONN and Northeastern. He has heard and been accepted into all of them except RPI- still waiting to hear as he did RD there. So far his top pick is Northeastern! Good luck!</p>

<p>Want to know more about WPI? Is waiting until the 17th too long, or is WPI too out of the way to get to on such a short notice? Wish you could talk to real WPI students in real time across the internet?</p>
<p>Heh, I've always wanted to phrase something like that. Anyway, if you're interested in talking to WPI students, an excellent way of doing so is using WPI's IRC network.</p>
<p>If you're familiar with IRC, the url is irc://irc.wpiirc.net, with the proper channel for prefreshman being #WPI</p>
<p>If none of that made sense to you, simply go to <a href="http://www.wpiirc.net/%5B/url%5D">http://www.wpiirc.net/</a></p>
<p>Please note that this is independent from WPI administration, and is run by students and populated by students. The thoughts and opinions expressed are the views of individuals and do not necessarily reflect those of the university as a whole. That said, this is an excellent way to talk directly to WPI students.</p>
<p>ok so I got my acceptance letter but haven't heard back about scholarships.....I thought I was a pretty good candidate but maybe not?</p>
