I graduated Spring '07 with a degree in an Engineering Degree with a Mechanical Emphasis. It is a good school and a great city to live in. The Engineering program is great. The student to teacher ratio is good and you will recieve the attention you need. Engineering will be very tough and you won't have much of a social life if you major in Engineering. Great professors too. It will be worth it in the end.

I went to TCU for two years from fall of 04 to spring of 06. I played baseball there. Great school and the campus is very nice. I liked it alot but didn't care for the baseball coach. I'm sure though that won't affect you in any way, lol. Good luck man, a degree from TCU will get you a long way. I had some friends getting job offers before they even graduated. GOOD job offers too.

Ha back in November for early admission. My hs is a pain in the *** they always screwed up with my transcript and stuff so that was a big fiasco- I know it doesn't matter but I just hate my hs. I got the letter back Dec. 9 or 10 and it was dated Dec. 1. Two more weeks went by and I got my scholarship so I'm pretty happy. It all depends. I don't know for your situation. I guess it could be the same or a little longer since yours is reg admission.

haha its more then hard to get into. ive been working on my application from seriously no joke two months into my junior year. its a huge PITA but if i get in it would be amazing. I applied for early admission and sorta got screwed over. I had to get a congressional nomination and my congressman decided to do it very late. it was much later then all the other Texas congressmen so all the Texas spots got full. ( only like 300 people get in ) so im on the wait list for another state to have an open spot.

but if i dont get in and get into TCU. my Trans am and I will be at all the meets
