<p>Olin College</p>

<p>UT Austin is too hot.</p>

<p>UNC?</p>
<p>fun…coz its fun…many people who see dream of going to the colleges they list in here post the name and smile looking at the name…that’s why it is fun…alrite now?</p>
<p>@aniruddhc Indian Institute of Technology? Its too difficult to get in…do they have foreign student quota? If I apply from outside India, whom will I compete with? Indians? or there is a different competition that includes foreign applicants only?
You can get into NIT if you give them some bribe(I can prove)…haha…I don’t know much about IIT but have heard that they are really competitive…</p>
<p>Not sure, I’m not too familiar with the school so I can’t tell</p>
<p>UVA</p>
<p>Their cost of attendance, even in-state, is absurd.</p>
<p>University of Idaho (hard mode: Engineering Outreach)</p>
<p>No, prestige is a huge factor for me.</p>
<p>Bob Jones University; full ride.</p>
<p>I avoid the barbarous nether-regions of this country.</p>
<p>University of North Dakota (any online programme, full ride)</p>
<p>As a substitute to a regular undergrad education? No way. Online degrees alone aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. However, as a secondary degree, I’d go for it (why not?)</p>
<p>UPenn, non-Wharton, no aid (55k/year)</p>
<p>Actually, online / distance/ correspondence degrees carry the same accreditation as on-site degrees, and ‘online’ does not show up anywhere on the diploma. I, for one, and excited about this new medium as its marginal cost of delivery is much lower and it permits greater flexibility for my extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>Pennsylvania is more civilised than the wastes of Georgia, but why would I pay for a year more than the cost I will have paid for four?</p>
<p>Vanagandr: In your opinion, do you learn as much, and are you as prepared for a job after studying in an online program (compared to a regular undergrad program)?</p>
<p>I digress from this thread for a moment.</p>
<p>If you wanted to work in academia, your online degree would put you at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>I was just wondering- how do people give tests if they’re pursuing an online degree? Lol</p>
<p>I’d assume they give it online.</p>
<p>The replies are in no particular order:</p>
<p>My tests have been proctored at the library. The proctoring is first cleared by the school to ensure there is no conflict of interest, then the tests for the year are sent to the library, and finally, I take them. For Engineering Outreach, the only stipulations are that the exams and final be completed by end of semester, and no more than one test per week.</p>
<p>The criteria for a degree obtained through online classes are the same as for an on-site degree. The online classes have the same curriculum, and in fact there is no distinction between online and offline in course catalogues.</p>
<p>As stated before, the fact that the degree was obtained online is not specified on the diploma, and the accreditation is the same as for an on-site degree. Therefore, if I were so foolish, I would have no problem dabbling in academia.</p>
<p>Okay, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your online major? Another major drawback would be the campus recruiting services. I assume you don’t have access to the company recruiting and/or alumni database?</p>
<p>ehh. Penn seems like it has miserable winters. Though a degree from there is def worth 55k. (if you can afford it)</p>
<p>Wash U?</p>
<p>A little too far south for my tastes.</p>
<p>George Washington University</p>
