<p>Hey guys, I don’t check this everyday so sorry for the delay.</p>
<p>Busybeemom - I’m not sure about the cable hookup, I don’t live on campus. Let me try to ask someone for you though and get back to you.</p>
<p>In terms of study abroad I took a mini 3 week course in London for Engineering through Rowan itself. It was kinda a one time thing by our professor here so I wouldn’t expect it again. Though every year it seems we have little 3-4 week study abroad in Europe and Australia area, I think they are for general education credit. I only know 2 engineers who did a full semester abroad, one had to stay longer while the other was able to make up the missing work and graduate on time. I don’t see why the options would be different as an Engineer, just keep in mind our program is very specific and structured. Clinic’s you can’t take anywhere else, and missing a Junior/Senior Clinic would be tough to makeup on time. It might be worth looking into study abroad Freshman or even Sophomore year, you will have little more general classes you can take at any major university (Statics, Calc, Chemistry, Physics, etc).</p>
<p>Those 3 weeks were the best of my life and eye opening, even if it delays graduation I would suggest going for it. Nothing quite like going overseas and getting an education at the same time. I’m sure the international office would have more information if you are an accepted student planning ahead.</p>
<p>Caruso707 - I don’t work for the University so I am not totally sure, you might be able to call the dean’s office and find out. I know Rowan publishes a book of student statistics every year, but it’s hard to find on the website. If I recall from our Newsletter, last year’s Mechanical Freshman class was around a 3.8 GPA and 1300 SAT (Don’t quote me 100%), so that should give you a baseline. I heard my professor’s say that Top 10% and 1250 SAT is generally what will get your application looked at. Keep in my we appear to have more and more applications every year, so may be tougher than a few years ago.</p>
<p>This is more information for questions mostly related to engineering the program itself, I’m not fully qualified to “chance you” as I’m just a single student and I was a transfer at that. I think I replied to you in previous threads, my best advice is don’t submit your application cold, go to an open house and try to talk to professor’s in the department you want to work in, never hurts to put a face to your application.</p>
