He got his early-decision application sent in to Stanford -- that is his #1 choice -- but C-M, MIT, and Cornell are also on his list. Wouldn't it be fun if our boys went to the same university?

By extending to 5 years there is the opportunity for more co-op rotations and perhaps a break! At least at these 2 schools the total tuition for 4 years is the same as 5. <br /><br /> smalltownmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857871195417461235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33395706.post-91605550780414361892013-11-03T06:23:27.512-08:002013-11-03T06:23:27.512-08:00J2 had a co-op at Georgia Tech.

Are you sure he doesn't want to try out the Southeast? #7 public university according to USNews. Another option is Southern Polytecnic University in my town. Only 2 schools in GA that have co-op are GT and SPU.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33395706.post-31748844925410466022013-11-03T06:19:40.723-08:002013-11-03T06:19:40.723-08:00This is the first I've heard of Co-op programs...This is the first I've heard of Co-op programs, and I'm intrigued. Does it take students longer to finish college because of working during that alternating semester? The program I looked at said students received 1 credit for each semester worked. I think this sounds like a wonderful idea, especially for programs like engineering and business.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.com
