Double-Oh-8

Here's the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BULeap2014/

I'm going to create a LEAP 2014-2015 incoming class Facebook group. PM me if you want to be added.

Thanks to the current LEAP students (fans and critics) for chiming in. I haven't yet heard from BU, so we'll see . . . I also applied to UC Davis and Riverside for a second bachelor's in engineering and may decide to go that route. There are certain benefits. Cost being a significant one, but it also makes the progression modular, so I don't fall into the sunken cost trap. After 2 years, at least I'll have a bachelor's. So if I decide I don't want a Master's, I'm not stuck having completed Phase I with nothing to show. If I decide I want a Master's, I may be able to get into a "better" school; "better" meaning more appropriate or specific to my interests given what I'll have hopefully learned during those 2 years. I do recognize this impulse to flee my current job into the warm embrace of something more. I just hope that something more isn't a fantasy paid for with an inflating bubble of debt.

Applied for Fall 2014. Looks like decisions in early March. Super nervous!
