Colleges I applied to, or at least requested information from

It's that time of year when 18-year-olds decide where they're going to college, a decision they cannot possibly be ready to make.

It reminds me... When the NaturalBlog was a young man (14 or 14-ish), he sat down at the ol' IMB-386 and wrote letters to colleges that made U.S. News's list of best engineering schools.

Here's an incomplete list of what-might-have-beens:

Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Rose Hulman Institute
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Presbyterian University (though Catholic, I received a scholarship offer)
The Cooper Union
US Naval Academy (They wanted four years of PE -- Forget that)
Georgia Institute of Technology
Auburn University
Tuskeegee University

Hard to believe, but true.
