<p>Anyone have any experience with Nuclear Engineering? My son is very interested in Ohio State where you can minor in Nuclear. I know Penn State and Purdue both offer this degree, but he would rather be in a more urban environment. We toured Purdue, and he really did not care for the environment.</p>

<p>His list is very small, and we're trying to expand it, just to feel a bit safer.</p>

<p>His short stats:
dual schools, suburban public school and urban magnet math and science academy
3.7 weighted gpa
rank:17/303
33 act
730 m, 660 v, 690 cr
nhs
ec's center around band(tuba) and tech crew for drama</p>

Nuclear-Trained Naval Officers </p>

<p>Two and a half years prior to college graduation, future Nuclear Power Officers can enter the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate Program (NUPOC). This program offers you a monthly stipend from $2,990 to $5,000 per month for up to 30 months depending on location, a $15,000 selection bonus, and an additional $2,000 bonus upon completing nuclear propulsion training.

<p>Michigan offers a nuclear engineering major. But as a tuba player he might be more interested in OSU, he would be in line for Honors.</p>

<p>Yes, 730 Math SATI</p>

<p>SATII--740 chem, 730 Math</p>

<p>He's already decided he won't be able to March in college, because of the demands of engineering.</p>

<p>He will want to participate in an ensemble(s), as music will be his release.</p>

<p>730 Math is three mistakes on the SAT,and they could easily be careless ones. Mathson never got above a 750 on the SAT1 (two mistakes) and each time they were questions a fourth grader could have answered. Don't worry about your son's ability to do the math - he probably just lost his concentration a bit.</p>
