<p>Yes, I accepted the offer…=) </p>
<p>DD had a great experience at WTP last summer. It was a lot of work, but she loved it, and the experience has caused her to apply to colleges in engineering. She also made some great friends. If you have the opportunity, you should go. MIT really does an excellent job of this program.</p>
<p>This fall, DD will attend Penn, and her 3 best WTP friends are headed to Brown, Harvard, and Yale. Most of the WTPers had multiple acceptances among MIT, the Ivies, and Stanford.</p>
<p>Heard that WTP 2013 EECS alumna did better in college admissions than their ME counterparts, which is surprising because the perception on campus at least is that the ME program is a little more selective because it is smaller. This is purely anecdotal and based mostly on scanning facebook profiles but according to my D, almost all of the forty WTP EECS women are attending HYPSM and Ivies (with a couple of full ride honors colleges thrown in), while the ME alumna results were more mixed, with Ivies, large publics, and small colleges among their college choices. I wonder how this compares to other years. (Of course, it’s all relative, we’re talking about the slightest differences in college outcomes of tippy top students, say the difference between going to Swarthmore vs. going to Columbia. It may be statistical noise and make not a difference at all in the real world.) </p>
