<p>Well I'm a junior in QHSSYC, NY.
And I have just recently decided I'm going to do early decision application in either CU's school of art or school of engineering...and I have yet to choose...and then something came up...career...I KNOW that it's overworking and I have yet to really understand what that means unfortunately. I was wondering if I were to ACTUALLY get in and work really hard there...Will I get the job I want and will I get it quickly? I think the answer to this Question might help which major to choose...I want to do mechanical engineering..(for the military)...which kind of worries me because out of some unrealistic imagination of mine and contamination of mecha in anime, I think I might just possibly create something dangerous that might worsen war. OR I could help build singapore tianjin eco-city...a beautiful idea...on the art side...people tell me I'll get no where which my contaminated mind of manga and my wish to relate my christian ways through it and thinking illustration or multimedia artist...I am very INGNORANT ..I KNOW NOTHING.
AND AFTER THAT...God will I really be able to survive there Will It be worth it?
I might as well make a living out of piano concerts...I am talented in music and art and maybe math/sci..but I KNOW IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH...compared to everyone else..Wat Question do I want answered? Just anything that can rid me of this fear and help me make a decision that could possibly let me continuously thrive to get into CU, which is really right around the corner, not that high of a tuition for me, and my dream</p>
<p>Cooper Union, highly selective! </p>
<p>Are you female? Look at: </p>
<p>RIT (NY)
Clarkson (NY)
RPI (NY) </p>
<p>Best of luck in your college search!</p>
<p>Cooper Union can get you anywhere. If you go to the engineering school, your reasonable next step would be engineering grad schools at MIT or Stanford. It’s very selective though. It’s acceptance rates were already below 10% in previous years. Due to the recession, the number of application it has received this year has skyrocketed (in the ball park of 50% I believe). Good luck.</p>
<p>I’ve always wondered and I was reading a HUGE forum debate on it …kind of…uhm…is grad school that really important in order to find a career for yourself? Today I was doing some thinking and I have finally settled on majoring in mechanical engineering and then I unfortunately came to the conclusion that I shouldn’t go to Cooper Union unless it’s the lowest tuition I have to pay overall. I know it’s free tuition, but it’s not really free because you have to pay for supplies and what not. I also realized that I should try my best to get into some other college/university like those SLUMON suggested to me and MIT! that could possibly offer me a minor in art and which won’t overstress me.I THANK YOU FOR THE REPLIES I WAS WAITING ;)</p>
<p>Mechanical Engineering? Also, look at Alfred University (NY).</p>
<p>CU’s programs in engineering and art are probably the most selective programs in their respective disciplines. Cooper Union’s art school boasts the lowest acceptance rate of any art school. </p>
<p>But I feel I have to point out something… Cooper Union is excellent, but you should go there only if you’re already very set on a certain discipline as a career (ie art or engineering). If you’re this mercurial on going into two fields you’re probably better off going to a school that allows you more freedom in choosing what to study.</p>
<p>Have you considered architecture (or architectural engineering)?
That seems the logical path to marrying art and engineering.</p>
<p>Cooper Union and Cornell have two of the country’s best architecture programs.
I believe you’d need a portfolio for either one. Virginia Tech also is very strong in architecture. Less selective, and as I recall, no portfolio requirement.</p>
<p>Other excellent architecture programs are at Rice and RISD. Rice and Cornell have been regular participants in the biennial “Solar Decathlon” competitions (Google it, you might find it inspiring). You could participate on a Solar Decathlon team as an architecture or engineering student. </p>
<p>From RISD, you could register for courses at neighboring Brown. These two schools have a joint degree program (extremely selective). You could propose your own art (or architecture) and engineering program.</p>
<p>Thank you for all the advice. I have settled on striving to become a mechanical engineer
NOT ART. I would LOVE to minor in it, but I’ve checked out MIT, RPI, CU, RIT and they say I can’t do that, so I’m going to stick with improving my grades, SAT score, maybe an extra art portfolio as a bonus, and what not. </p>
<p>I’d like your advice on whether or not I should take both AP CALC and AP Physics. I’d rather not take both, because if I focus on two, I’m not sure I can get a 5 and it’d turn into a full schedule which I do not want for my last year of High School. and I’ve been thinking about RISD and wow SolarDecathlon is quite interesting, altho I’m more for the robotics part of mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>IVYs. I was interested in UPENN all the wayy …Yale, Brown, and Princeton, but I know they’re prestigious and i dont kno much about Dartmouth TY for all the college advice
I am really looking for GOOD engineering programs and LOW tuition and max 5 hours a distance from NYC</p>
