<p>Wow, this sounds really cool! Just another reason to attend SEAS if I get admitted(fat chance; I was deferred ED).</p>
<p>I agree with Denzera on the topic of engineering. Quite frankly, almost no one wants to be an engineer after college, at least the way engineering jobs are now. If you go to places like MIT, most students are more interested in going to a hedge fund and earning millions of dollars designing mathematical algorithms than becoming, for example, a mechanical engineer. I think I saw a quote somewhere here about this that was something to the effect of “Engineering companies don’t pay MIT students what they’re worth, so MIT students go to hedge funds where they are paid what they are truly worth.” While engineering is no doubt a worthy and important profession, it simply does not pay well, comparatively to other jobs a smart, mathematically- or business-savvy person can get(starting a business, working for a hedge fund etc).</p>
