2nd year mechanical engineering major. plans for either law school, or grad school for some kind of engineering, but i did get an email from a marines recruiter who said student athletes like myself are good prospects for OCS (officer candidate school).
Okay, lets see: 1.) BSME and BS-Aero at Texas A & M 2.) MSME and MS-Composites design from M.I.T. 3.) Race Car designer-currently under contract to Audi with side contracts with NASCAR and others. 4.) 308GT4 (At 29 years of age) 5.) Testarossa (At 35 years of age) 6.) 360 Modena F1 (At 36-37 years of age) All financed--I know-I pay a lot that way but so what. Currently just shy of 37.
Lets see here... 1.) BS Computer Science University of Wisconsin - Madison MS Computer Science University of Minnesota MBA (Starting next Fall) University of Chicago 2.) Software architect at IBM Own small software consulting firm 3.) Bought the 348 outright, saving for a 12 cylinder car of some kind at the moment (512BB, 512TR, or Diablo). 4.) 24
Congrats on getting in... I got deferred... hmm... kind of sucks but I still have another shot. I also applied to a lot of other schools. Someone will accept me I know it ! Would really have liked to get into Penn though. I'll let you know in April... good luck!

Worked at a car dealership throughout high school, got a killer deal on my car. 3. Nope, though I wish i went to Skip Barber....someday... 4. No Ferrari, paid cash for my 2001 Z28 5. 19
you consider changing majors yet? that thought is always in the back of my mind, though i dont think i'd ever do it. it must be great to be a business or poli sci major. All that extra time and easier classes would sure be great! btw, nice 944. if i ever save enough $ i'd consider an S.
Finished High school in 94 Went to Colledge for automotive repair training Went back to Colledge for automotive electronics training I'm now a fully licenced serivice technician..who works on exotic cars of all types. had my Ferrari at age 25 i'm now 29. This year I should have my own service shop repairing high end cars and exotics. Ferrari was financed over 3 years...now fully paid for.
I sometimes joke to my wife about changing majors, but I know I won't. I am getting ready to start Calc 3, Diff equations, and the second Physics class next week. The break has been nice. Thanks for the compliment on my car. The S is sweet. It has about 30 more horses than my reg turbo.
I'm sorry about you getting deferred. It would be cool to know another F-Chat member at Penn! But like you said, you still have a shot, so best of luck! As they say, the system has a weird, and painful, way of putting people where they belong most of the time. If you're good enough to be considered by Penn, you're gonna wind up at a great school, wherever it is. Best of luck for April! You may be a Fighting Quaker yet
(1) Occidental College, Los Angeles. Major: Diplomacy & World Affairs (2) Manage software consulting biz (J.D. Edwards) (3) Is my career related to my college studies of civil war in Angola? Gee, not exactly... (4) cash is king.
I remember when i got waitlisted to my first choice when i applied early. Good thing i didnt because i ended up at another teir one school that i like more that is equal academically with an equally as good engineering program to my first choice. Things sometimes have a way of working out for the better.
Okay guys, I'm a little curious to see where you Ferrari owners (and other members of the board) went to school. If you can list your degree, and profession, I think it could be useful to those such as myself! Jay-Currently attending Jr. college transferring to UC Riverside for a business major. Planning on selling loans when I finish college, and hopefully real estate investment.
Near high-school drop out here. I hated school, as I always knew I wanted to be in sales. I was one of the very lucky ones where not having a higher education effected being prosperous in later life. As for you, stay in school and get a good education. On the side, get a part time job in the field that you would like to get involved with. Do what you love and the money will follow. PS: Don't sell networking with friends short. Make as many contacts as you can and keep a log. For your peers that you feel will really do well in life, stay friends with them and learn from them.
I start senior year of HS in September and i hope to go to Villanova University and get my degree in Finance. Then who knows.
