[Boston University LEAP Program]

Well, I haven't heard about the LEAP scholarship, and with offers from other universities, I have declined my admission. If there is anyone on the waiting list, a spot may have opened up (and maybe more LEAP funds)!

It certainly is possible attend a masters engineering program without an undergraduate degree in engineering. That being said, the admissions are very selective for students without an engineering background. I applied to LEAP because I was unsure if I would get any master's programs, but I was accepted into two engineering programs (master of science), so I would prefer to skip the additional LEAP year. In case you were wondering about my background I have a bachelors degree in Biology and a minor in mathematics, so I might have a little more science/math background than others applying to the LEAP program. I was also concerned with the amount of debt that I would have upon graduation, which seems would be rather high at BU.

I wish everyone in LEAP good luck (and those that are considering LEAP)!

Would you mind mentioning what program you got into at what school? Looking at other options as well

Close, c/o 2011. I took a year off.

And what gives? My advisor could at least send an e-mail saying "I'll get back to you later." Nothin'. Anyone else have Prof. Attaway?

She responded to my email but it took her quite some time to respond.

daaamn no funding at all? Ditto to v834. Can not afford it....need a new plan now. Any other programs similar to LEAP? haha

I actually just got mine as well. And I am very surprised too, because I thought every applicant receives some sort of aid.

I would like to know the same thing: is financial assistance the LEAP scholarship?

Does anyone know how difficult it might be to obtain a license to be a PE with a non-ABET Master's in Eng, and non-engineering BS degree? My concerns for doing a program like LEAP would be that we do not have a ABET-accredited BEng degree which is what a lot of employers are looking for (As well as being a PE). Thoughts please?
