Ball Aerospace is hoping to expand their Boulder campus.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., the aerospace arm of Westminster-based metal-packaging manufacturer Ball Corp. (NYSE: BLL), is considering a major expansion to its aerospace operations in Boulder.
Late last year, the firm submitted to city planners documents that show Ball’s intent to build three new buildings at its 1600 Commerce St. campus that would add 375,000 square feet on the roughly 27-acre site.
Can a student take the engineering curriculum while in Exploratory studies or does it effectively add a year to their studies? My Mech Eng student was also offered Expl studies despite top stats and ECs. Not sure it’s worth it for OOS tuition when he has other offers. Thank you.
I don’t know about specific classes, but they do take the same freshman courses and remain on track to graduate.
I was deferred and want to send a letter of continued interest to cu boulder but I’m not sure which email to send it to. Can anyone help me out?
I’d probably find your admissions counselor - i think they are listed in your admissions portal and send to them. you could cc the admissions office.
Please use caution when accepted under Exploratory Studies. There are no guarantees a student will be accepted into their choice major in their sophomore year. To transfer in the most popular majors there is a GPA requirement and a “space availability” factor.
Daughter accepted Astronomy/Astrophysics
OOS (PA)
no test scores
loads of ECs
Chancellor’s scholarship with invite to honors
Maybe ask admissions. My daughter just turned down her admission and scholarship at CU for mechanical engineering for another top engineering program. Remember there will be kids doing the right thing and turning down admissions so others can be moved into the competitive majors! Good luck!
Thank you! On the advice of the college counselor at his high school, he sent an email to confirm his background and intention of studying engineering. No response until a few weeks later (this week) when he received an email suggesting he check on an update to his portal. There it was w/the College of Engineering! It’s really nice to know that can work!
junior here! did you guys have to write a personal and a supplemental essay?? or just 1?
Common App and a short second one that you can use at many other schools
In case you are still deciding…Check your portals…just received a $25K scholarship today.
Yep S too. That’s over 4 years, right?
My daughter already got it - but yes, if you had no aid b4, the CU scholarships are a four year total- so a bit misleading.
Spread over 4 years.
I just got it too. Ha ha ha. 
Miscalculation of yield. 
Where did your decide to attend? Sounds like she has wonderful options!
Caltech bound here!
Congratulations!!! CU’s loss, for sure.
