funny…rocketman was going to be my username on this forum…

i was looking at your stats and interests and basically, i thought i was looking at myself.

i, myself, have an interest in aerospace engineering. i, however, went the approach as to gain a broad understanding of the engineering/sciences and become more narrow later on.

haha…i am a percussionist as well (mostly marimba, hand drums, and sound research)! i sort of live a dual life here at harvey mudd - a am a musician and an engineer. oddly, even though i am not nearly as musically involved as i was before, i have been gaining a lot of musical support and opportunity.

engineering here is very intensive, to say the least. they cram you full and work you so hard that many people break-down and cry. conversely, however, i love my classes (all 8 of them, 6 technical). people here are brilliant… 1470 avg SAT, great AP scores, but most importantly- passion and drive!

well, i suppose you have already applied to colleges and should be hearing back pretty soon from them. its okay, you can always transfer. :)
