Interesting story: My D tells me, out of 9 of her friends that went into engineering from high school, 3 went to Rose (including her) 7 went to highly ranked larger schools (Top 10). All the Rose students stayed (3) and only 1 in the other larger schools stayed in engineering. That means that 6 left engineering in larger schools. They ended up dropping out of engineering and going into another major. Not good odds. All of there kids were in the top 10% of a competitive high school and very bright. True Story: My D went to one of the arger school accepted students day for engineering and they said look around only 3 out of the 10 of you will graduate in engineering.

She talked to a couple kids and it all came down to the support and the larger weed out classes that they had. She was telling them of the support of the profs, the students and the admistration she had at Rose. They were amazed.

So to all of you who selected Rose Hulman for Fall 2009, I think you all made very a very good choice. I hope the President of Rose will say the same thing he told the class of 2011, shake hands with the students around you, because you will graduate with them.

Rose has a graduation rate of 85% and most of those graduate in 4 years (Big savings when you look at some other schools and you are going that extra year).

Good Luck to Fall 2013 you made an excellent choice!
