FY13 STA-21 Applicants

[wlawr005]

At my college, Calc and Physics were 4 credit hours apiece (16 total). I don't know if that's how your college does it. Most of the non-technical majors at my school took C&P at the local communty college. It was cheaper, less credit hours, and *ahem* easier.

My college is better than your college.

Yeah, but mine is the best.

The prototype Corvette was built in the engineering labs at mine. Along with the SBC, BBC and some other neat things, like the first Powerglide.

Are there any selectees or alternates here for FY13 that have received their packet in the mail yet?

I was alternate last year and never received a packet. Selectee this year, no packet yet. I'm not going to hold my breath.

My school required 180 credits and a thesis.

For a bachelors. Not all schools are the same.

What school is this so I know where NOT to apply ?

I called Pensacola this morning and was asking a question. They mentioned that I should be getting the packet and they had mailed them last week.

On a separate note, I did send in my alternate information. So now I get to just wait.

GMI in Flint, MI.

I think they are at 120 or 160 now, but.. You no longer get 4 credit hours for a 4 hour a week class. So it's still the same workload. Just doesn't scare off the prospective students as bad.

Nope, not messing around. If there is a chance, I want it! I think I might have gotten my stuff in first. Obviously no way to tell. PM about the physical thingy and I will give you details or what not.

Good luck Popo & Longo. Hope some spots open up for you guys. If not you should definitely reapply, I think being alternate the previous year is a huge plus.

Good on you! That's the perfect attitude to have considering the unfavorable outcome of the results as a whole. I'm not saying I wish bad upon any of the original selectees but with your positive attitude and motivation I do hope you get that magic phone call informing you of your selection. Good luck!

Thanks. I don't wish anything bad on any of the original selectees. But you all can! Just kidding. They obviously were deserving of it if they got selected (this is a non-nuke statement).
But even the nukes got there turn this year. They had a ton of applicants. However, they still had a 26% selection rate.

I wouldn't give them a 26% selection rate. I would only count those that were qualified candidates. So more like 31 selectees out of 35 qualified candidates, 89% selection rate. Really weird that almost 100 nuke packages received were not qualified. Maybe since they know this is becoming a nuke program a bunch of them just threw together whatever they could and mailed them in. I really hope this program mounts a comeback for non-nukes.
