Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the Eli Whitney program?

I'm looking to transfer from C.C. I'm 26, male and looking for rigorous liberal arts education. I don't have time right this moment to list my stats but basically I'm just starting school for the first time, full-time and doing really well. I tried to talk with admissions about the program but they weren't extremely helpful. Anyone have anything to offer about it? Who it's intended for? Financial aid for the program? Difficulty of admission? Just general stuff like this would be utterly helpful. Thanks to all, this website is a great resource.

anything at all?

There are not too many people who participated in this program, because it is small and relatively new. That is the only thing that I can tell you, it will probably explain why nobody is responding to your thread

This website should help answer some questions you may have. Any additional questions may be addressed to the Dean. His contact is listed on the website.

Hope this helps.

I think the most people they've ever accepted in a given year is two. The program is tiny and, I believe, there's never been more than twenty Eli Whitney students on campus at any given time.

Again, as said above, this is probably why you're not getting responses. The program will probably become WAY more competitive as they've only recently extended financial aid to EW's. So, next year probably twice as many people will apply and they'll again only admit two. Give it a shot... those two did!
