Comments:
Is everyone in here applying for phD programs or masters? If you all are applying for masters ive got no chance haha.
I spent a lot of time bouncing around majors in college, i didnt have the luck of finding what i wanted to do early enough to really gain traction in my field(I switched into biotechnology halfway into my 3rd year of school) It was only until i was pretty much done at RIT did I figure out that the engineering field was for me. Since then ive moved to Boston and have been planning on entering the LEAP program at BU so i can get into a field that im pasaionate about.
