Yea they must have changed, they only issue grades in A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0 and fail, Thank the lord I've only seen the first three! --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

I appreciate your point and I can see where you would feel the way you do about the decision after you had a good expierence at your private school. People look at situations differently, and I guess that I should have just said that the public school route was the best for me as I would not be the person that I have become without it. I also believe the best place for him to excel in extracurriculars would be at the public school w/ a well developed soccer program. The competative spirit could stay with him but the facilities for him to use it would not be as great as at the public HS. The 4.0 student was extremely distraught about how he was continuously rejected after many interviews, btw. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

Hey, I'm a Junior studying Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. First off, I love my major and if he wants hands on science and math I wouldn't suggest anything other than ME. I was able to get an awesome internship with American Axle and Manufacturing in Detroit, working close with production, design and testing. I felt like I was getting paid to play with big toys (Hummer H3 prototypes, etc.). At school we have huge labs with lots of equipment, a student machine shop, and plenty of hands on curricular and extracurricular opportunities. Again to rehash, if he likes science and tinkering I'd suggest looking into ME. That said, I DO NOT think that you should enroll him in the magnet school. I do not feel that it would make him any more prepared to enter college as a student or a young adult. First off, it is important to learn normal social interaction which will probably not be the same at the science school. I went to a local public school in Birmingham, MI which prepared me extremely well for my college education. I was actually inducted into the Honors Freshman Engineering program here a Purdue and I hated it. Although I was able to perform academically, the students (generally) didn't have any social skills at all. I have found through personal experience that developing a well rounded personality will get you farther than a good GPA. For example, my GPA is a 3.05 while a fellow student's is a straight 4.0 (this is no joke). I was able to secure an engineering internship where he couldent, which I believe to be a result of my extracurriculars and interviewing skills. The 4.0 student is hard to hold a conversation with and it shows. I feel that if your son has a normal public education he will be much better off in the long run. I do not know your son though but if I was in his place, I think that following his friends would be the best thing to do as long as his concentration stays on getting the best education he can at the local HS. Please accept my two cents worth, I hope that you will make the decision which best suits your son. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

Oh man, the guy who lives above me either has a lot of sex or really loves his right hand because the bed squeaks through the floor EVERY DAY.

My family has a fun twist on Christmas, I did the plane for my dad and my sis did the parachute guy for me. She wrapped a spatula and pancake mix in the guy (she's worried about potential bounces), DVD's in the plane. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

But they bring you wholesome TV w/ dumb criminals, sweet car chases and crazy shots to the balls. We can just laugh at the wuffos, but the commentary is rediculus... even on non-skydiving related shorts. --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

I should take that to my Fluid Dynamics professor tomorrow. Wonder what he'd make of it ME 309 RULES!!! Expecially the part when Prof. Werely says, "Since the averages on the exams were both less than 68%, most of you will fail this class." --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

For me, its the money issue. As a college student I want to continue but I don't have the green. I plan to pick it up again if I can make some money this winter break.

A couple guys and I are thinking of trying to fit AAF into spring break this year (March 12-20). We want to go camp, jump and party somewhere warm and fun. Anyone know where such a magical place could be found?? --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training

Yea, I'm an engineering student at Purdue and we learned all about it last semester... my professor was a six sigma black belt in the auto industry. Pretty hard core stuff. The company I worked for this summer just integrated some lean cells into their assembly floor. So, thats where I got my bs guess :-P If you don't manufacture then, are you in software? --- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training
