Over 50% of TWW would've gone there if they'd gotten in
Less than 5% would ever actually admit that 1/12/2011 7:33:48 PM |

I did not apply to UNC. I don't know if I would have gotten in -- I may have, but I did not want to go to UNC. UNC does not offer my major. And I've always hated those douche bags.

This was mentioned in the UNC investigation thread in ST, so [old] but their criteria is stupid.
^ I know him. He was freaking out about all the hate it garnered, mostly because he didn't think his opinion was going to be posted in the newspaper. The whole event made me lol

I got into UNC.
Liked NCSU better for multiple reasons at the time.
Probably would have enjoyed either path admittedly.
I'm poor though, so not sure I would fair well in CH even with my scholarships. 1/12/2011 8:52:08 PM |

I really don't think so. I think the majority of TWW is made up of engineers and CSC majors who wouldn't have even considered UNC. I would have definitely gotten in to UNC but didn't even consider applying.1/13/2011 9:07:02 AM |

If I was good at like chemistry or like english or something other than math and fixing shit i wouldn't have tried to become an engineer. I didn't apply to UNC, but they had pretty much an open door policy for my high school. Needed a break from CH, but i think i would've had more fun in college there so i probably should've gone. I mean its not like i'm eager to work some fucking engineering job i don't give two shits about.

Engineering can be a pretty fun career (just based on my ~4 years now). I have flexible hours where I'm at, some pretty cool projects in interesting locations, and it pays well enough to finance your hobbies on the side (music, travel, whatever).
Obviously I'd prefer to be a writer or musician full-time but I took the guaranteed money /shrug 1/13/2011 9:22:49 AM |

is that just for 4 year graduates, or does that take into account graduates from the professional schools as well? If so, I'd be shocked. 1/13/2011 1:58:14 PM |

I would say a large number of NCSU students came here for engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Agriculture Institute, College of Natural Resources etc. etc.
- None of those people would ever want to apply to UNC. So fuck your lame statistic........ 1/13/2011 2:21:04 PM |

Many of my friends and I from high school got into UNC and decided to go to NCSU for the Engineering program. If I was interested in Business, Law, Medicine or some of the graduate programs at UNC, then that would have been my first choice. My grades and scores were good, and both of my siblings went to UNC, so I had the legacy benefit as well. I didn't apply. I would have been accepted. Why though? I make a good living with a bachelors from NCSU, and spend my days coding and enhancing software implementation cycles. I can work from Starbucks, it's epic. 1/13/2011 2:51:00 PM |

ouch.
i'm glad to report i'm above the NCSU mid-career, and after 7 years, not 15 .... you can thank me for helping to pull the average above UNC
it's just too bad AstralAdvent can't engineer his way out of a paper bag and will wind up pulling our numbers down that much more.
