Someone suggested I place this in this forum area. My DS was accepted at CalPoly SLO, V Tech, Purdue, SDSU, UCR and WPI. He's still waiting to hear from the rest of the UCs but I think only Berkeley would bump what he's got so far. He's a mechanical engineering kid. VT and Purdue do the first year engineering thing and then apply for the major. SLO, and WPI he's in for ME. UCR admitted him straight to the BS+MS program. We are instate CA. So the CA schools are ballpark $30,000 a year. Purdue, VT and WPI are in the mid $40,000s. WPI offered $12,000 off their $60,000. He is up for a FIRST robotics scholarship at WPI that would be a full ride, but no announcement yet. Advice? Thoughts? I'm an english lit major so I'm unsure of the school name value in engineering. Are we crazy to walk away from VT and Purdue for CalPoly SLO? I mean if WPI offers full ride then great! But we can do SLO debt free... not so much the others.
