Hey

Personnally Iwent to Michigan Tech, and got a EE degree.

I do VB now though for programs dealing with an engineered product.

Unless you are going to what you consider one of the TOP PLACES,
I don't think it matters much. Just go wherever and do well.

Also, do yourself a favor and supplement your CS degree with a minor in
business, finance, engineering or something else that interests you.
It will help a great deal to have some familiarity with whatever
industry you end up working in.

I went to Newcastle.

Good university but even better night life.

You are actively encouraged to drink and vomit while struggling to pass your degree.;)

when I was in 6th grade...MS DOS 1.0 was just being released and the ANSI standard was founded! :D ...can you guess my age?

Going to McMaster for Electrical+Biomedical Engineering (starting this September), going to get a BEng and MEng from there (same program...its an extension thing where one extra year gets you a masters!).

Then I plan to go to MIT or one of the other top engineering schools in the States for my PhD.

Took my SAT nonetheless though...but what a waste of $50 and a good score that was...

Better get going though...one last exam tomorrow :)

Of the 2 Dakotas it's usually the one on top...

BTW evexa you should consider Berkely among your college shortlist. Great comp sc program and close to San Fran.
