[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is anecdotal, but in a session on campus, we were told direct admission to engineering was 25%-30% and slightly lower out of state. So anyone confusing the overall admit rate with engineering should re-check. Did not end up enrolling but the facilities were impressive.

I think a lot of the snark is 1) location, 2) over-emphasizing drugs which are now everywhere, and c) the rep of the school from 20-30 years ago. Are there still kids who party? Of course, but like any state school, a portion of the student population does not represent the total.

It is probably even more unusual for people here. We have family in Colorado and visit often. [b]Comparing the more formal, less outdoorsy and gov't centered focus of DMV to the vibe of Colorado in general - you are bound to have a reaction.[/b]

What? DMV outdoorsy too --- Shenandoah, Blue ridge, Old Rag, Sugarloaf, Potomac river, Rock Creek Park, countless trails[/quote]

You have no idea. People in boulder go rock climbing at lunch. [/quote]
