I think that an engineering degree would serve me the best period. A pre-professional track is inflexible compared to an engineering degree. As an added bonus I have the ability to go into an assortment of other fields, niche markets, and have high paying work out the door. Besides that engineering can be some of the most rewarding(yet most unappreciated) work when one sees his products being used to the enjoyment of so many: Ipods, dvd players, computers, contact lenses, streets, hybrid cars, etc… .Most importantly I love technolgy, and have been a silicon valley native from day one. My interests though aren’t just rooted in engineering. I need a place where I an combine both my passions into a single pursuit, and thats been a major driving factor for me to look outside of the state to the ivy league. Im blessed for living in a state that has such vast academic oppurtunities available to the public, but unfortunatly with the exception of Stanford, I wont have access to the facilites I need at massive public universities. Also, oddly some schools put me into a Caucasian grouping and some list me as a minority.
