| prometheus | I applied ED1 too |
| prometheus | And am really nervous |
| Yaz08 | nice!! |
| SIT Colleen | Good to hear, prometheus! |
| SIT Shane | Prometheus, yes we do |
| SIT Colleen | Don't be nervous! |
| wmlh | also, can you track the status of your application online |
| Yaz08 | i sent out my application last week, that was an intense moment for me |
| SIT Bridget | No, you cannot track the status of your application online. However, you will be notified if something is missing from your application packet |
| prometheus | Yeah I did it online and once I hit the submit button and I felt a great relief and a sudden nervousness |
| landte | hiya |
| abhishek | If we get accepted through early decision, do we have to come to Stevens or can we still go to a different college if accepted |
| prometheus | Yeah I got a letter saying I was missing a letter of recommendation |
| Sasithra | sorry, my internet connection is a little unstable |
| Yaz08 | Yes, same here... |
| prometheus | When I had three sent out besides my guidance counselor |
| prometheus | And two of them resent their letters |
| SIT Colleen | No worries Sasithra |
| Yaz08 | Are there any current students speaking with us...or is it all admissions staff? |
| louannsodano | Hello - It's P.J. Sodano |
| SIT Colleen | We have a current student here |
| SIT Colleen | He is trying to get connected |
| prometheus | I think it is supposed to be all Stevens students |
| landte | i am a student |
| SIT Colleen | Hi P.J. |
| prometheus | Oh nice |
| Yaz08 | hi Landte |
| SIT Shane | abhishek, you will need to make a decision by January 5th, if you do not commit will have declined your acceptance and will look at other schools, you will not be bypassed to the regular pool |
| Sasithra | yeah |
| landte | gi |
| Yaz08 | What year are you? |
| landte | does stevens have computer eng. |
| Yaz08 | and whats your major? |
| louannsodano | Question: Is it better to do my applicatioin on line or thru regular mail and include my letters of recommendation, essay, transcript, etc? |
| SIT Colleen | Yes we do - and it has one of our highest starting salaries!! |
| landte | 12th grade |
| abhishek | What about pharmacy, or chemical engineering |
| Yaz08 | lol i thought u went to stevens! |
| landte | o |
| Yaz08 | CHEMICAL ENGINEERING...MY MAJOR... |
| landte | no but i am looking at it |
| SIT Colleen | Well if you do it online, it's free, so I would say it's better to do it that way - and then you can submit all of your supplemental info (letters of rec, etc) through snail mail |
| Yaz08 | definately! |
| SIT Bridget | Prometheus: If you'd like to know if your letters of recommendation are all here, all you would need to do is tell us your first and last name. |
| SIT Colleen | Yes we do have chemical engineering |
| prometheus | Ian Cordasco |
| abhishek | how about pharmacy? |
| wmlh | could i check if my application is complete also |
| landte | i have not heard a lot about this school how is it ranked |
| prometheus | I'm worried though because I called and noone called me back |
| SIT Colleen | We do not have a pharmacy major but a lot of our chemistry majors choose to work in the pharmaceutical industry |
| Willy | Hm, so you can send things in waves. That's good to know. |
| SIT Bridget | Prometheus, we have both recs. No need to worry |
| prometheus | I have a question though |
| SIT Colleen | sure what is your question? |
| abhishek | so if i was to have a major in medicinal chemistry, does stevens have a type of program that can meet this major? |
| SIT Bridget | shoot |
| SIT Shane | willy, how you mean by waves??? |
| prometheus | When I looked at the recommendation info it didn't say anything about the supp forms |
| prometheus | And now my friend is getting ready for ED2 |
| prometheus | And he showed me those forms and now I'm really freaking out |
| Yaz08 | I am suppose to take my interview at stevens during sleeping bag weekend, however I have not received any mail or email..What should I do? |
| SIT Shane | No, we only offer chem-bio, chemistry, bio-chemstry |
| SIT Colleen | Prometheus, what do you mean exactly? |
| Willy | The app by the internet, and then those letters by snailmail. Did I read it right? |
| SIT Shane | that is right |
| prometheus | There's a recommendation supplementary form |
| SIT Colleen | the supplemental forms are the forms your recommenders need to fill out and mail in to us |
| Sasithra | can i schedule for the interview a little later on? |
| Willy | Mmkay. |
| prometheus | That you are supposed to give to your teachers |
| SIT Colleen | just a normal recommendation form |
| SIT Colleen | right |
| prometheus | I didn't know we had to get those done |
| SIT Colleen | you can print that out from our website |
| prometheus | That is mandatory? Correct? |
| SIT Colleen | yes, you need one from your guidance cousnelor and one from a teacher |
| abhishek | Can i submit a reccomendation letter from a professor from a different university? |
| Willy | Oooh! That's my next question. |
| SIT Colleen | yes, mandatory |
| SIT Bridget | Did you apply by common app or the stevens app? |
| prometheus | Ok |
| prometheus | I think I can get that done. Thank you so much I have to go but I'll be back online |
| SIT Colleen | no problem, thanks for stopping by!! good luck!! |
| raolat | hii, what do your SATs score have to be to get into stevens |
| Willy | If they've already typed up their letters of rec, they can just attatch them to your sheet, yes? |
| prometheus | Thank you! |

| matt | for the sleeping bag weekend, if thats what its called can i bring a friend? |
| meghanjax13 | can anyone tell me anything about the computer science major? |
| SIT Colleen | Sure you can come back vservito |
| SITStudent | high powered lasers and all are a little more advanced labs |
| SIT Shane | Matt, NO you can not. Only for students who have applied to Stevens |
| SITStudent | What do you wanna know Meg? |
| SITStudent | have you ever programmed before? |
| Willy | High Powered Lasers? Sounds delicious. |
| sasi | how many international students are there on campus? |
| Brooklyndude23 | Do we need to know programing before we come? |
| sasi | a rough estimate |
| raolat | i'm trying to submit my score on common application and all i have left right now is just my essay so when is the deadline? |
| Dat | What would you say is the most popular major at Stevens? |
| SITStudent | @willy, the dude's name is Rainer Martini -- how cool is _that_ |
| meghanjax13 | anything about the courses i would take |
| Yaz08 | Lets say you took pre cal your senior year, is it true you will have to take calculus during your summer? |
| SIT Colleen | Raolat, the deadline is 2/1 |
| NicolasF | I attended ECOES II but there was no demo on civil engineering. What do you think of the classes, profs, and jobs in that field. |
| Willy | ... Oh my gosh, I need to write that name down. |
| Yaz08 | the summer* |
| BLahham | hey, anyone here in Mech. Engineering? |
| NicolasF | ? |
| SITStudent | well no you don't need to know any programming |
| Willy | It's like something out of a video game. |
| sasi | hello? |
| SIT Bridget | We have about 5% international students |
| SITStudent | if you don't, you start in CS105 Freshman Intro to Programming |
| SITStudent | in Matlab |
| sasi | oh cool |
| SIT Bridget | Hi Sasi |
| Yaz08 | Does anyone go to school in Jersey City |
| Dat | I do. |
| sasi | hi ! |
| Yaz08 | DAT you do |
| SITStudent | then you go to CS115 for Java |
| SIT Bridget | What can I help you with? |
| Dat | I go to St Peters Prep. |
| nileshraju10 | Whats the difference between Early Action I and Early Action II ? |
| SITStudent | and CS284 is Data Structures in Java |
| Yaz08 | nice...do you know anyone at SAint doms |
| Dat | yeah some |
| Yaz08 | ic ic... |
| Code | Uh, I'm having trouble keeping up with all the questions/answers. |
| SITStudent | this semester I'm learning C, Assembly and Scheme >.< |
| sasi | do i have to take a calculus class before entering the college? |
| Yaz08 | Any seniors? |
| SITStudent | yeah this chat is moving pretty fast |
| Code | Can we get this slightly more organized? |
| sasi | code: yeah me too |
| SIT Bridget | Yes, alteast pre-calculus |
| raolat | yes |
| matt | highschool senior? |
| SIT Colleen | Niles - it is actually Early Decision I and II, not early action, and the only difference between the two is that you have to have everything in earlier for ED1 and you find out earlier |
| Yaz08 | do we need to take calc during the summer |
| sasi | right |
| BLahham | I just wanted to know on what basis it is taught , more application or theory, for ME |
| Quelloquialism | Does Stevens offer a mathematics+computer science dual major? |
| BLahham | M.Engineering* |
| sasi | any other subjects? |
| SIT Colleen | but our early decision is not typical in that you do not have to commit to attending our school until after you get your decision and your financial aid information, and even then you can still say no |
| sasi | for computer engineering |
| SITStudent | what about CompEng sasi? |
| SIT Bridget | You have to take altest pre-calc before you enter your fall semester here on campus |
| sierra | oh wow |
| NicolasF | Civ. Eng.? how is it? |
| sierra | i wont be going there |
| Yaz08 | okay i am okay then... |
| SIT Bridget | pre-calc, physics, bio, chem |
| Yaz08 | How is chemical eng.? |
| Tginlock | do you give out athletic scholarships? |
| SIT Bridget | Sierra- what do you mean? |
| sasi | i was trying to find out about what classes i have to take before entering college |
| matt | bbl i gotta eat dont you all leave! |
| Yaz08 | no its division 3 |
| sasi | oh phew |
| sierra | i dont take pre-calc |
| sasi | i take those |
| sierra | i take all the other classes tho |
| SITStudent | sasi you should be able to look it up on the Engineering Department's websites |
| Code | When considering inernational students for scholarships, what are the most important criteria? |
| nileshraju10 | What classes do Stevens freshman students usually take if they plan on graduating in Computer engineering? |
| SIT Colleen | We look at the whole package, Code - SAT, grades, extracurriculars, essay, etc |
| SITStudent | okay engineering is awesome here |
| Brooklyndude23 | Very informative, see ya later |
| Willy | Here's an interesting thought: Am I going to see some game design courses in the CS program? |
| SITStudent | because you take a lot of core courses frosh and soph years |
| SIT Bridget | Well then, if you are "Accepted" if would be on a conditional basis: ie: you would have to take that specific course before youcome on campus in the fall |
| SIT Shane | Bye |
| Sbuck2 | anyone else here from 609? |
| meghanjax13 | what is the interview like and how long does it take? |
| SITStudent | so you can switch around once you get those done and still not have to delay your graduation |
| SIT Colleen | The interview is pretty relaxed, and it is only about a half hour long |
| Willy | The interview was very cool. |
| BLahham | whats Mechanical Engineering like, is it physical or more theory |
| Sbuck2 | anyone else here from 609? |
| SIT Bridget | HI simon |
| SIT Colleen | Just make sure you know why you want to come to stevens! |
| SITStudent | I'm from 856 sbuck |
| Sbuck2 | ighttt |
| simongold | hey there |
| sasi | when is the deadline? |
| SIT Shane | BLahham it is very much applied with plenty of theory too |
| Code | Do you award any scholarships that cover all the tuition? |
| Yaz08 | This was a great chat, i found out a lot of things...I will be back later though...THankyou Colleen, ALEX, Bridget.... |
| SIT Bridget | Deadline for what? |
| SITStudent | concerning game design, we do have a computer vision group that does some things like that, but the programming so so much more important |
| SIT Shane | You take 1 design course every semester |
| SIT Colleen | Code, yes, we do |
| sasi | regular decision |
| SIT Bridget | Thank you Yaz |
| Yaz08 | Byeeee!!! |
| SIT Shane | Bye Yaz |
| SIT Colleen | no problem yaz! |
| SITStudent | let the artists make the pretty stuff...physics is where it's at : D |
| Yaz08 | Bye... |
| nfinkelstein719 | How is the mathematics program? |
| SIT Bridget | Regular Decision Deadline is Feb. 1 |
| Code | Is there any specific number allocated for international students? Or does it vary depending on the applicants? |
| SIT Colleen | It is great |
| Willy | Hahah. Just making sure I can get my feet wet in both categories. |
| Code | specific number of sholarships* |
| raymend2004 | so....is it too late to apply EA? |
| SIT Colleen | It prepares you for a lot of analytical careers |
| sasi | i have a problem |
| BLahham | so i understand it is more theory? |
| sasi | i cant take my SAT earlier that mid january |
| SIT Bridget | Vary depending on the applicants |
| SIT Bridget | Why is that Sasi? |
| SIT Colleen | Why? |
| nileshraju10 | what states do most Stevens students come from? |
| Code | Ah, thanks for the answers :) |
| sasi | i have my SPM to finish |
| SIT Bridget | They come from 48 different states |
| nfinkelstein719 | is mathematics a popular major on campus? |
| sasi | and the next possible date is in january |
| SITStudent | and a lot are from North Jersey |
| SIT Shane | BLahham, i would consider it 50/50 |
| raymend2004 | k |
| SIT Colleen | What is your SPM? |
| Code | How important do you consider class rank as an admission factor? |
| BLahham | is ther a way to apply early without being bonded to it? |
| sasi | its like my final year examination |
| BLahham | or is it bond or nothing at all? |
| SIT Bridget | We look at class rank, but we look at ALOT of things... |
| raymend2004 | where do I apply? online? common app? |
| sasi | its pretty big because its for all 11th graders |
| SIT Bridget | It can only help you |
| SITStudent | common app : ) |
| SIT Colleen | Sasi, SAT or ACT scores are required... |
| SIT Colleen | I would try to work it in somewhere |
| sasi | yeah |
| raymend2004 | grrrr... I don't like the common app. sigh... |
| sasi | thats my biggest problem |
| simongold | what do you need to get into the honors program? |
| Elvis | Does the school only accept common app? Or can we do the regular site app? |
| SIT Bridget | Early Decision is NOT binding UNTIL you send in a deposit |
| ScythianEmpires | Does Stevens offer a mathematics+computer science dual major? |
| Sbuck2 | what was the thing that made you choose stevens? |
| raymend2004 | really?!!! |
| SIT Bridget | Common app is accepted |
| Willy | The Common App versus the SIT app. Such a painful decision. |
| SIT Colleen | Elvis we do common app and regular |
| SITStudent | Co Op, Location and size were the most important factors for me |
| Elvis | Ok, thanks |
| Code | What were the average SAT section scores for last year's admitted Freshman class? |
| SIT Colleen | You need a 1400, and 3.7/4.0 GPA |
| Dat | What is the COOP program? |
| SIT Colleen | for the honors program |
| simongold | and if you dont have that 1400, your not considered? |
| mikeiene | Hi, all |
| Willy | Mikey! |
| Sbuck2 | 1400 out of ? |
| SIT Colleen | 1600 |
| SIT Bridget | Code: off the top of my head, I do not know the breakdown, however the SAT range was a 1180-1360 |
| mikeiene | Hey, Will! |
| Willy | Woop wooooop! |
| SIT Bridget | (CR and Math) |
| SIT Colleen | so just math and critical reading, sbuck |
| Sbuck2 | ok ya |
| SITStudent | Co-Operative education is a five year program which gets you real work experience while you study |
| SIT Colleen | hi marlene! |
| sat.miller | how are the reisdence halls? |
| Code | Do you consider the writing section of the SAT? |
| SIT Colleen | they are great, with good views of manhattan! |
| Dat | Ohh, how do you apply for it? |
| sasi | yeah how are the residence halls |
| SIT Colleen | prime real estate :) |
| abc123 | Whats the lowest SAT Score any accepted student had? |
| sat.miller | and all common baths? |
| Elvis | Do you guys consider any SAT amount? For example if a student has a excellent GPA, for example a 3.9, a lot of extra activites, but not such a great SAT? |
| SITStudent | it's a huge benefit, you graduate with 2-3 years of professional work experience so when you're looking for jobs, sure you're a year behind your class, but you have that experience and employers love it |
| SIT Bridget | They are beautiful. Most overlook the Hudson River... overlooking the NYC skyline. |
| BLahham | is there a way to apply early without being bonded to the program |
| SIT Colleen | ABC- we're not really able to comment on that, but we look at all kinds of SAT scores (unfortunately specifics are private information) |
| mikeiene | Who is the admissions counselor for Monmouth County, New Jersey? |
| SIT Colleen | Elvis, we consider all SATS |
| SITStudent | concerning the residence halls, you can unbunk your beds, have fridges and microwaves, and yes, your freshman dorms will have communal bathrooms |
| simongold | is there a way into the honors without a 1400? |
| SIT Colleen | Valerie.jackson@stevens.edu is the monmouth county counselor |
| nileshraju10 | How many applications does Stevens get? Out of how many are accepted? |
| SITStudent | oh and TVs and fish and stuff like that, that's not it! |
| SIT Colleen | simon, if you make a 3.8 gpa your first semester you can get into the honors program |
| simongold | oh ok, thanks |
| sat.miller | thank you! good luck to everyone : ) |
| cmh72790 | about what percentage of students are commuters? |
| Bryant Lewis | how many people graduate from Stevens Univesity a year, SITStudent? |
| SIT Colleen | good luck to you sat! |
| SIT Bridget | BLah: You are only bonded to ED once you send in a deposit |
| sonythms | what are the requirements for the medical program? |
| nileshraju10 | How many applications does Stevens get? Out of how many are accepted? |
| mikeiene | Will Stevens notify me when they get my application package? |
| SIT Colleen | everyone: apply apply apply!!! we look at the WHOLE package, not just sat and gpa!!! |
| sasi | whats the greek life like? |
| BLahham | Does SIT offer a program for mechanical enginnering that combines BS and MS within say 5 years?? |
| SIT Bridget | We recieve over 3000+ applications |
| SIT Colleen | Mike, you will get a letter |
| SIT Colleen | Yes, we do Blanham, the 4+1 program |
| Bryant Lewis | how many people graduate from SIT? |

| Marlene | What is the percentage of Hispanics at Stevens? |
| sasi | excellent :D |

| Dat | Do we have to apply for the honors program? |
| SIT Colleen | No you do not, Dat |
| Willy | Which is really nice. |
| SIT Colleen | we will automatically let you in if you qualify |
| BLahham | oh, kk, then can someone also do a different program tp also combine their doctrals with that? |
| SIT Bridget | 5% are hispanic |
| raymend2004 | 49% hmm, that's pretty good |
| Dat | Oh alright. |
| Sbuck2 | what is the total number of students? |
| Code | How does Stevens rank amongst other universities with respect to its Engineering department? |
| SIT Colleen | We have one of the best known engineering programs in the country |
| SIT Bridget | Total Number of students: 1800+ |
| SIT Shane | 2000 students are enrolled this year |
| Sbuck2 | dang smaller than my highschool |
| SIT Bridget | Just kidding. Shane is correct |
| SITStudent | most schools give a BS in Engineering |
| raymend2004 | which university is the least known? |
| Marlene | Do you know why there's such a low percentage of Hispanics? |
| SITStudent | we give a BE (Bachelors in Engineering) which most colleges don't offer |
| sonythms | infomation on Steven's BA/MD medical program? |
| lxpollara | hey question what are stevens average english, and math SAT scores?? |
| SIT Colleen | But you guys, don't forget that you can take classes at NYU for free any semester you want! So if you want a big school experience, you can have that also! Best of both worlds!! |
| Marlene | Is there a lack of Hispanic Applicants? |
| raymend2004 | for free? |
| SIT Colleen | yes, for free! you pay nothing extra! |

| SIT Colleen | they have some really cool classes there |
| ll | what is the male/female ration |
| SIT Colleen | yes, totally 100% free |
| SIT Bridget | SAT Range: 1180-1360 |
| raymend2004 | do you still get the credit there? |
| SIT Bridget | (math and critical) |
| raymend2004 | as part of your diploma? |
| SIT Shane | Marlene we just get a smaller # of apps from the hispanic population |
| SIT Colleen | we are 75% male, but remember that we are affiliated with NYU and you can take classes there, and they have the opposite ratio |
| SIT Bridget | Female populatio: 25% |
| trinituhdebone90 | i'm a non black caribbean islander! indo caribbean you could call it. i guess i'll put other on my app |
| SIT Colleen | Yes, youc an raymend |

| raymend2004 | Does Stevens accept AP credits? |
| SIT Colleen | Marlene, you can take one class per semester at NYU and you will pay nothing else and it will count for your Stevens degree |
| SIT Colleen | It is really cool because they offer so many different classes and you can meet all kinds of new people! |
| SIT Colleen | Yes, we do accept AP credits |
| SIT Shane | YEs on AP credit you need a 4 or 5 |

| nileshraju10 | Does Stevens Like to See honors and AP classes? |
| BLahham | but nothing more than that? |
| lxpollara | how do I apply for the acting scholar ship?????? |
| ll | do you have activities on the weekend |
| SIT Colleen | Yes we have PHD programs connected to the bachelors and masters |
| Marlene | That's the best thing I've heard all week, free classes |
| SIT Colleen | If you call your counselor or email them, we can get you more specific info on that |
| SITStudent | also when you do Co Op you can take a free night class |
| SIT Bridget | Yes, we do like to see honors and AP classes- similar to most schoools- but they are not required by any means |
| SIT Colleen | I know Marlene, it is great! |
| trinituhdebone90 | exactly what is early decision 2? is it the same as one or is it more flexible |
| BLahham | and how long do those take? |
| SITStudent | one per Co-Op term |
| SIT Colleen | It's the same as one, except shifted a month later |
| raymend2004 | How big are the classes in general, especially freshmen classes |
| SITStudent | so you can put that towards a masters in CoOp |
| lxpollara | thanks all gotta fly |

| sonythms | what are the requirements for steven's BA/MD medical program? |
| raymend2004 | Does faculty include TAs? |
| SIT Bridget | Faculty is just faculty. NOt TA |
| SIT Colleen | For BA/MD you need above a 1400/1600 on your SAT, you need to take mat, science, and english SAT II |
| ll | what activites are there on the weekends |
| claudia | i want to take 2 foreign languages, so i will need to take continuous classes in order to become completely fluent, but this is great |
| Sbuck2 | do you need to take any SATII ? |

| SIT Bridget | the classes are extremlely hands on |
| SIT Shane | The inventor of Bubble Wrap |
| dmantena | how is the computer enginerring program in SIT |
| SIT Colleen | We have a great pre law program affiliated with New York Law School - a little known fact is that for Patent Lawyers (who make a LOT of money) you need a bachelor's degree in a hard science or engineering in order to take the bar exam.. so a Stevens grad majoring in one of those subjects, then getting a law degree, would be all set to do quite well |
| Marlene | lol, I'm an undercover nerd |
| SIT Bridget | YEs, we require a teacher rec |
| SIT Shane | and the past CEO of Verizon Wireless and XM Satellite Radio |
| Willy | Mmkay, It's time to make my leave. Thank you very much for answering my questions. |

| Elvis | Is it on the online app? Or do we mail it? |
| Willy | Maybe I'll talk to some of you again. ;] |
| simongold | are the big scholarships primarily based on GPA and SAT's? |
| Dat | For the personal statement, is it alright if I talked about a creative work that influenced me or does it have to be something else? |
| SIT Bridget | By Willy |

| Elvis | Ok cool, thanks |
| SIT Bridget | WE have a business major |
| Marlene | Really? That's impressive |

| SITStudent | I'll be very very honest here: I don't drink |
| I <3 SIT | i signed up for the sleep over, i was wondering if i could bring a friend |
| simongold | claudia good call there |
| SITStudent | you will find people like that here, who just don't |
| SITStudent | Frats are somewhat of a big deal, and I mean, it's college, so there is partying |

| SITStudent | If you want to, I'm sure you'll make out very well |
| SIT Shane | just yourself |
| SITStudent | And if you don't, there's a place to do that too |
| SIT Colleen | dont be scared though you will meet lots of fun people at sleeping bag weekend! |
| SIT Shane | we do not have the capacity for friends unfortunately |
| abc123 | You gotta go down to new Brunswick for partying |
| SITStudent | does that sufficiently answer your question? |
| kevinc | how hard is the curriculum? will u b able to have a life outside of the schoolwork? |

| dmantena | th |
| EricD | didnt mean to do that |
| rob_w | Hey, I was wondering how the merit-based scholarships work? On the website there isn't anything specific, but it does mention merit-based all-inclusive scholarships... I was wondering ballpark figures of what is required for that? |
| Knil | Is the writing section counted in the SAT at SIT? |
| simongold | do students spend a lot of time in NYC? |
| SIT Shane | cmh yes i would think so we always recommend to live on campus |
| SIT Colleen | No, its not difficult, cmh, there are SOO many things to get involved in |

| SIT Shane | but there are over 150 clubs on campus so it is very easy to get involved |
| raymend2004 | thx for the info, good bye |
| SITStudent | Wii > XBOX360 ;) |
| SIT Colleen | Simon, people definitely spend a lot of time in NYC, you can take classes at NYU for free which people really take advantage of |

| claudia | speaking of gaming, are there many students who are in their rooms all day playing games all day? although i do think guitar hero is a pretty cool game |
| Marlene | I'm going to have to go get it this weekend |
| kevinc | is there a paintball team on campus or atleast a field nearby?(Atlas?) |
| SIT Colleen | Claudia, our students are really involved |
| EricD | what type of classes can you take at nyu? |
| SITStudent | we have gamers here, sure, but tests are always more important than gaming. Except those WoW players, you gotta watch out for them |
| claudia | good, cause my brother is at one of those kinda colleges right now, and that scares me a little |
| SIT Colleen | Any class at NYU, for humanities credit only |
| dmantena | how many subject tests are recommeded |
| EricD | haha WoW great game |
| SITStudent | (Yes, I play WoW, all good things in moderation) |
| SIT Colleen | you just have to get it approved and that's it, its a very easy process |
| EricD | like languages (spanish etc) Colleen? |
| SIT Colleen | dont worry claudia its not like that |
| SIT Shane | two subject test are recommended, typcially math or science |
| SIT Colleen | eric, language classes you can definitely take at nyu |
| SIT Colleen | a lot of people do that |
| Knil | No specific science SAT II? |
| dmantena | i took us history and i am going to take math IIC is that okay? |
| EricD | alright cool |
| SIT Shane | that is fine |
| SIT Colleen | no science sat II unless you are applying for accelerated premed program, in which case you have to take math and bio or chem |
| kevinc | WoW is an addictive game |
| rob_w | Hey, I was wondering how the merit-based scholarships work? On the website there isn't anything specific, but it does mention merit-based all-inclusive scholarships... I was wondering ballpark figures of what is required for that? |

| dmantena | is accelerated program the honors program? |
| SIT Colleen | No |
| Marlene | What does the Honors Program offer? |
| I <3 SIT | cant wait to try warhammer |
| SIT Colleen | accelerated means you go to med school, dental school, or law school without taking the mcat, dat, or lsat, and you graduate a year early |
| dmantena | oh |
| SIT Colleen | scholars program is our honors program where you get a free masters degree |
| Knil | Oh, can AP credits count for anything? |
| SIT Bridget | Not too shabby huh? |
| dmantena | yea |

| dmantena | how much voluenteer hours do you need |
| Knil | When does one have to declare a major? |
| I <3 SIT | great! |
| Curtis | Is it this way for a lot of colleges, or mostly just stevens? I have a challenging IB curriculm to back things up, and I transfered high schools and lost math credits in the transfer. |
| kevinc | does stevens frown upon people who use the common app rather than their own? |
| SIT Colleen | no specific amount of volunteer work is needed : ) |
| SIT Bridget | Declare at the end of your sophmore year- fall |
| SIT Bridget | Ie: your thrid semester |
| nileshraju10 | Do you guys have a 4+1 engineering program? |
| Knil | Ah, alright! |
| SIT Bridget | Kevin- you can apply using either one. Which ever you prefer |
| SIT Colleen | Curtis, we dont offer any introductory classes like precalc etc here because we specialize in math and science, it's different everywhere though |
| Alchen | in reference to the pre-med honors program, can you please tell me how many people are accepted and how many complete the program successfully to go onto NJMS? |
| SIT Bridget | are you thinking Early or Regular, Kevin? |
| SIT Colleen | Yes we do, niles |
| SIT Shane | We do have a 4+1 |
| dmantena | if i want to major in computer engineering do i have to take the physics subject test? |

| nileshraju10 | Is the 4+1 engineering program hard? |
| Curtis | I have more questions baout the pre-calc program. what if your school doesn't offer pre-calc? |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, there should be a box you can check for it on the app |
| SIT Colleen | hats all you have to do |
| SITStudent | the faculty are incredibly knowledgeable and have all experience with the courses they're teaching, and I have a lot of friends who are very happy with game design |
| SIT Bridget | Kevin- you can take one class per semester at NYU to fill the "political science" itch youhave |
| SIT Shane | Curtis you will need to take it in the summertime somewhere, either online, or at a Community College |
| dmantena | if you get a 3 or lower on a ap exam will that effect the acceptance? |
| Curtis | ok. |
| Marlene | what is the age range for the undergraduates |

| SIT Colleen | niles, it is challenging but doable |
| EricD | what kind of access is in the dorms, like internet cable tv wireless internet? |
| SIT Colleen | dont worry! |

| SIT Bridget | Knil- the double major/minor is difficult- but hey- if you are ready to hit the books, you will be fine :) |
| rob_w | I am applying regular decision, but I know some schools will still consider applications as they come in... would you say that Steven's would take a look at my application when they get it or will they focus on ED folks first? |
| SIT Colleen | we have a 90% retention rate, niles, so everyone is pretty happy |
| Marlene | How many students in the mechanical engineering program |
| Knil | So, it essence, with AP credits, and classes are dropped, it would make major/minoring a bit easier? |
| SITStudent | EricD: we have an awesome network |
| Knil | lol, yeah, I expected more work |

| Alchen | what if i apply using the common app? do i just put it in the "intended major" section? |
| SIT Colleen | yes |
| SIT Colleen | that works! |

| Marlene | Yeah you're right Bridget. |
| Alchen | is there an interview for both pre-med and pre-dental? |

| SIT Colleen | knil, any of those, i believe |
| Syedah A | Would you recommend your school to someone interested in medicine? |
| SIT Colleen | yes, christians |
| Marlene | How many credits do students take per semester on average? |
| SIT Colleen | we have 4+1 |
| CMcKenzie | are any of you in the co-op program |
| christians | how does that work |
| SIT Colleen | what is ccna dman? |
| SIT Shane | Marlene if you tranfer after 2 yrs it typcially take 3 to get out of Stevens |
| SITStudent | comp sci majors specifically take between 15 and 18 |
| SIT Bridget | Yes, I would. We have a great accelerated med program |
| SITStudent | engineers seem to take between 16-20 |
| dmantena | form cisco |
| SIT Colleen | no we dont have that as a major |
| SITStudent | I can't speak for any others |
| dmantena | ccna=Cisco Certified Network Associate |
| SIT Colleen | you might learn about ccna in a class though! |
| christians | how exactly does the 4+1 program work and can you do it with co-op |
| dmantena | oh |
| prometheus | SIT Colleen I have one more question ... not to be a bother |
| SIT Colleen | no prob prometheus |
| Knil | Is there/how is the theater clubs/groups there? |
| dmantena | cause i am taking the class in my school |
| Knil | are* |
| SIT Colleen | theater is very popular, we have the stevens dramatic society, they put on great shows |
| SIT Bridget | Yes, there are theater clubs/.groups here |
| SIT Shane | christians you can do Co-Op and MS |
| Marlene | The honors courses, how do they differ from the regular courses? |
| prometheus | You said that you had "both" of my recommendations but I had four teachers (one guidance counselor and 3 teachers) send in recommendations. Are you only taking two recommendations? |
| SIT Shane | in 5 years |
| Alchen | since i live in california, would i fly in for an interview at my own expense? |
| SIT Colleen | we will look at all of your recs, promehteus |
| christians | thank you SIT Shabe |
| SIT Bridget | We will look at ALL four |
| prometheus | If so could you tell me which two so I can give the mandatory sheets to those two instead of all four |
| christians | Shane |
| EricD | for a typical engineer, how early or late are the classes, can you basically choose your times or not? |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, you do not have to interview on campus since you live in cali, you can do a phone interview |
| Syedah A | What are some main attractions that would attract high school students? |
| SIT Colleen | more or less, eric |
| Knil | Oh, do you prefer science/math teachers for reccomendation letters? |
| SITStudent | classes never are later than 9pm |
| SITStudent | and don't start before 8am |
| SIT Colleen | knil, you can have any teacher do it |
| prometheus | Ok so I'll give those sheets to all the teachers thank you. |
| Marlene | We can send more than 2 recommendation letters? |
| SITStudent | this is my third term and I've never had an 8am class |
| SITStudent | my earliest was 9am |
| dmantena | if you do good in the first semester in SIT and you get the honors program can you stop taking it ini your sophmore year? |
| Knil | So, SIT won't take a special liking to any? Coool. |
| SIT Colleen | sure, if you want to you can marlene |
| SIT Bridget | Main attractions: Close proximiioty to NYC, fantastic Co-ep programs as well as internships and research programs.... |
| SITStudent | but I know some people who take classes til 9 at night |
| SIT Bridget | Beautiful campus. Amazing city of Hoboken |
| SIT Bridget | All GREAT THINGS |
| EricD | oh alright, so its pretty spread out, cool |
| KCalleo | for the teacher recommendations, what if you one of the teachers you ask retired last year was only able to write the recommendation itself but not the form? |
| Knil | Is there tennis as an intramural/club sport? |
| christians | i have to agree the city is awesome when i went to visit |
| SIT Colleen | Dman, you can stop being in the scholars program if you wnat to! |
| dmantena | ok |
| christians | how do you get into the 4+1 program |
| Alchen | i see, are all applicants to the program required to do an interview? and when will students be notified? |
| SIT Colleen | kcall, that is just fine |
| dmantena | how different is honors program? |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, everyone has to do an interview |
| SIT Bridget | We have tennis as a team sport- but as for a club, we have 8 courts on campus. Maybe you can start your own club |
| SIT Colleen | you will be notified 4/1 if you apply regular |
| Knil | 8 courts? Awesome |
| Knil | A lot better than the 3 at my school now, lol. |
| SIT Bridget | YEp. 8 courts and some of them overlook the nyc skyline. AMAZING |
| SIT Colleen | some of the courts are lit up and have views of manhattan too :) |
| Knil | Oh wow |
| SIT Shane | Christians as long as you have over a 3.0 GPA you can start taking Graduate level courses after sohmore year |
| colinb17 | someone from your school is coming to visit my highschool for the day. this is usually just for an intrest/info session, but do you knwo if it's possible to have an interview with them (that is if they have time)? |
| Alchen | so people can apply to this program as early decision also? |
| SIT Colleen | colin, you might be able to work that out, what state are you in? |
| christians | so i can get my masters in five years if i maintain a reasonable gpa |
| dmantena | when is the sleeping event in SIT |
| colinb17 | virginia |
| EricD | for the teacher recommendations, i saw a form on the SIT site, is it alright if my school has their own form that they just give to the teachers, they said its basically the same information |
| SIT Colleen | ooh thats me |
| dmantena | where you get a weekend tour |
| SIT Colleen | what high school? |
| colinb17 | Flint Hill in oakton |
| SIT Colleen | i left a message for your college counselor today! |
| Marlene | oh, I didn't know there was a form for the teacher recommendation letters |
| SIT Colleen | I am going to come there 11/14 or 11/15 depending on what works for her, and I can interview you then : ) |
| SIT Shane | dmantena you can check our weekend tour dates online |
| Syedah A | Do you have studying abroad programs available? If so, what are the programs available for future pre-med students? |
| Marlene | I had two of my teachers send in two of their own letters |
| colinb17 | oh, i'll stop by tomorow |
| Knil | Oh, can the school use their own forms? Or you perfer SIT's form? |

| SIT Colleen | Yes, alchen |

| GregP | Are there married couples housing available on campus? |
| emadcreswell | yes i understand that |
| SIT Colleen | no, we have several |
| emadcreswell | but |
| Marlene | My calc professor is an MIT graduate and he recommended Stevens after cooper union |
| SIT Colleen | I'm not sure, Greg, are you married? |
| Alchen | what's the rate of acceptance of the pre-dent program as well as the rate of successful completion? |
| SIT Colleen | Marlene, thats great to hear! |

| SIT Bridget | So GrepP- we do not have married couple apartments :) |
| emadcreswell | like im fron north carolina |

| Alchen | what's the rate of acceptance into the pre-dent program? as well as the rate of successful completion? |
| emadcreswell | o really |
| lehafG | If we dorm, are we allowed to have a car with us? |
| GregP | I think my gf wants to wait until after college |
| collman07 | What is Hoboken, NJ like? |
| emadcreswell | some colleges do accept 3 however correct? |
| SIT Bridget | Hoboken is amazing!!! |
| SIT Colleen | That is probably a smart idea, Greg |
| SIT Colleen | Leha, no cars until senior year unless you are doing coop |
| emadcreswell | im feeling pretty confident about my ap calc ap exam im one of the only 2 with an A in there |
| christians | do you accept physics C ap and Calculus AB |
| SIT Colleen | Every college is different emad |
| SIT Bridget | Awesome small city with lots of shops, restrauants and things to do |
| christians | as ap credits |
| SITStudent2 | Hoboken is a great location. 10 Minutes path train ride from NYC |
| emadcreswell | yes i understand that |
| Knil2 | Oh, are there any churches/places of worship on campus, or would students have to go into the NYC/Hoboken? |
| lehafG | So if i do coop, I can always drive throughout all my years? |
| SIT Shane | We accept AP Calc AB & BC as well as Physics C or C E/M |
| collman07 | Is Hoboken more like a city, or more like a suburb? |
| Alchen | do you have an average SAT score or GPA for those accepted into pre-med program? |
| SITStudent | there's a church right outside of campus about a block from the EAS building, I know that |
| SIT Colleen | We have a church right across from campus that I know of, and Hoboken has tons of places just a few minutes away, we also have services on campus |
| danix3elle | Hoboken is a really nice city |
| christians | would it be a good idea to take both physics C cources |
| emadcreswell | if i was to go in for computer engineering |
| christians | courses |
| SIT Bridget | Hoboken has ALOT of different places of worship and SIT also have differnt organzinations on campus |
| Syedah A | Well thanks everyone for your time, this was fun! Bye |
| emadcreswell | would my current courses support or help me in my career plan? |
| SIT Shane | the more physics the better |
| SIT Bridget | Bye Syedah |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, average is above 1400 and above 3.7 - we really get the best students for that program, it is very hard to get in |
| Knil2 | Ah, alright! |
| SITStudent2 | The campus is very suburb feel well the city itself is very like NYC |
| lehafG | If i do the co op program, im allowed to drive for all the years i attend? |
| collman07 | Is Hoboken a safe city? |
| danix3elle | hoboken is safe |
| SIT Colleen | emad, career planning is very important to us here, everything will help you in planning your career |
| kevinc | what is the ratio between guys to girls? |
| danix3elle | I live in Jersey City |
| collman07 | How is your civil engineering program? |
| SIT Colleen | 3/4 guys, HOWEVER, we are affiliated with NYU, you can take classes there, and they have almost the opposite ratio |
| SIT Bridget | If you do co-ep and require a car to get there you can have one on campus |
| SIT Shane | Civil EN is great |
| emadcreswell | for computer engineering/science, what is average gpa and sat scores (just verbal and math) |
| SIT Bridget | 28% girls |
| SIT Shane | think of any major construction firm and Stevens works with them |
| SIT Bridget | Average GPA 3.7 |
| SIT Colleen | our civil engineerin program is very good, collman, very high starting salaries and fantastic professors |
| collman07 | What type of classes do I take in the civil engineering program? |
| SIT Bridget | Average SAT 1180-1360 |
| EricD | what about if you just want a car on campus for travel and stuff, are you allowed to? |
| lehafG | but if we do co-op are we allowed to dorm? |
| emadcreswell | oh |
| Knil2 | But other than being in a CO-OP cars aren't allowed on campus until after freshman year or...? |
| SIT Shane | Bridges, buildings, waterways... |
| SITStudent2 | You are allow to dorm |
| emadcreswell | i made a 1270 on math and verbal |
| SIT Shane | is all about civilEN |
| robert | Is it possible to do a double major in math and computer science? |
| SIT Colleen | soudns good emad |
| emadcreswell | 650 in math and 620 in verbal |
| SITStudent2 | indeed a lot of our co-op students live on campus during their co-op term |
| emadcreswell | is that good? |
| SIT Bridget | Eric you cant have a car until you are a senior... but if you were willing to pay for parking in a hoboken parking garage you can do that too |
| collman07 | Thank you for the info. Good night! |
| prometheus | We can only declare our intent for Co-op after first semester right? |
| SIT Colleen | that is in our range emad |
| emadcreswell | excellent |
| SIT Colleen | right in the middle! |
| emadcreswell | for gpa and class rank |
| SITStudent2 | Only Seniors, Co-OP, and commuters are allow to have cars on campus |
| SIT Shane | Co-Op is optional |
| emadcreswell | what % of stevens population was top 5%? |
| SIT Colleen | you really do not need a car in hoboken |
| prometheus | Yeah Hoboken is a mile square |
| x alex50thx | How is the housing on campus? |
| SIT Colleen | we don't have that info emad, because a lot of high schools do not rank |
| SIT Bridget | HEy Alex |
| prometheus | Not trying to step on admissinos staff toes |
| prometheus | But that's the truth |
| SIT Shane | you have until 3rd semester to sign up for co-op |
| Knil2 | What's the difference between Early Decision and Early Decision II? |
| emadcreswell | oh |
| SIT Colleen | thanks prom : ) |
| SITStudent2 | Hey Alex, there are three freshmen dorms on campus |
| emadcreswell | lets say |
| lehafG | So if Im in the Co-Op propgram, and i dorm, im still allowed to have a car on campus? |
| AlexH | Hi |
| SIT Colleen | early decision two is the same, but shifted later |
| EricD | is SIT a suitcase school? |
| SIT Bridget | Housing is great. Its guarenteed all 4 years. Ranging from singles, doubles, quad to apartment living.. you name it, we got it |
| SIT Colleen | yes leha |
| SIT Bridget | plus the view is AMAZING |
| SITStudent2 | All of them are really nice. I would say they are bigger than a lot of colleges I visited when applying |
| SIT Colleen | no, it is not, eric |
| Alchen | you said earlier that SIT early decision is non-binding...but your website says that it is? |
| emadcreswell | at the beginning of my high school years, i was rank 6. then i dropped to 11 by my senior year...how do yall feel about that? |
| SIT Colleen | you can go home if you want to, but most people dont... why ywould you, there is so much to do here! |
| prometheus | To the students, do professors encourage taking notes on laptops or on paper? |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, it is only binding if you make it binding |
| SIT Colleen | if you deposit to us, then you have to come |
| EricD | that's cool |
| SIT Colleen | but if you don't, then no problem, you can go elsewhere |
| SIT Shane | Alchen it is binding but only once you have deposited |
| SITStudent | it depends on the class, prometheus |
| SITStudent2 | It depends on the class. Most students prefer notes as student with laptops do more than just taking notes. lol |
| GregP | What is the deadline that SAT scores have to be RECEIVED by? |
| SITStudent | if you're in math sitting there on a laptop, your professor might be pretty mad |
| prometheus | LoL |
| SIT Colleen | emad, we look at your whole application, not just class rank |
| prometheus | Yeah actually I hope to be a math major |
| prometheus | So I wasn't planning on using a laptop |
| prometheus | But |
| SITStudent2 | Some classes do require laptop. i.e. comp sci and other related courses |
| SIT Shane | Greg P for ED or REg |
| lehafG | Are any of you on the track team< because teh coach called me before and left a message, and i tried callign him back but he enver answered and I left a message |
| prometheus | For the humanities I was thinking of it |
| SITStudent | and yeah I try to bring paper to class... if I have my laptop I get lost in email or web browsing and don't pay enough attention |
| Alchen | i'm sorry, can you please clarify what you mean by "deposit to us"? |
| GregP | for ED |
| emadcreswell | its just that i feel gpa class rank and sat scores verbal and math to be the most important |
| prometheus | Thanks SITStudent |
| SIT Colleen | alchen |
| emadcreswell | btw is stevens d1 in ncaa? |
| SIT Colleen | bridget will help you :) |
| SITStudent | but if you have no problem. prometheus, how's bob? |
| SIT Colleen | no, stevens is d3 |
| emadcreswell | oh |
| SIT Bridget | Deposit to us means you send $ to hold your spot in teh class of 2012 |
| prometheus | Huh? |
| Marlene | lol |
| emadcreswell | how is the soccer team? |
| Knil2 | lol |
| SITStudent | *no idea where the "but if you have" came from |
| Knil2 | Prometheus and Bob |
| Knil2 | From Kablam |
| SITStudent | and please don't tell me no one remembers KABLAM |
| SIT Bridget | Once you deposit in ED- you are then saying "Yep, Im coming to SIt in teh fall!" |
| Marlene | SIT student is funny |
| Knil2 | I DO! |
| prometheus | I'm lost |
| SITStudent | he |
| Alchen | ohh so only if i send money...otherwise its nonbinding? |
| Knil2 | I loved Kablam |
| SITStudent | he's also cute |
| SITStudent | O:) |
| SIT Bridget | Correct, Alchen |
| Marlene | lol |
| prometheus | I named myself Prometheus because of the Greek titan Prometheus |
| lehafG | What can you tell me about scholarships? |
| SIT Colleen | yes alchen |
| prometheus | I'm more into Greek mythology than whatever that Kablam is sorry |
| SITStudent | and here I was thinking you liked Nickelodeon |
| prometheus | Never even heard of it |
| AlexH | Do early decision applications give more generous scholarship offers than regular decision? |
| SIT Shane | If you do not deposit for EDI by Jan 5th, you will no longer be considered for admission and you have elected to decline your acceptance |
| Alchen | does a person who apply pre-med early decision have a siginificant benefit over someone who applies just pre-med reg.? |
| SIT Colleen | we have LOTS of scholarships, 90% of our students get scholarships or financial aid |
| ChristianSa | how does the interview work if i live in florida |
| SIT Colleen | yes, alex |
| prometheus | AlexH are you from Don Bosco? |
| prometheus | (Sorry had to ask) |
| AlexH | yes |
| EricD | don bosco? in south boston? |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, yes, it always helps to apply early |
| SIT Shane | Christian SA you can do a phone interview |
| Knil2 | Or NJ? |
| lehafG | how do i get a scholarship? |
| SIT Bridget | Don Bosco in NJ |
| prometheus | No in ramsey NJ |
| AlexH | Northern Jersey |
| EricD | oh my bad |
| Knil2 | lol, that's close to where I am |
| SIT Colleen | lehaf, we will automatically consider you if you submit the fafsa |
| Knil2 | When is the FAFSA form due? |
| ChristianSa | when would i be notified to set up an apointment |
| lehafG | FAFSA start in january right? |
| Alchen | thanks, so if i apply for both pre-med and pre-dent should i just put on my common app that i would like to be considered for both? |
| GregP | what date do SAT scores have to be received by for ED? Basically, if i have not sent my scores yet, is 2-4 weeks enough time or do i need to pay for rush delivery of my scores? |
| lehafG | but I thought that FAFSA was financial aid, not scholarhsip |
| EricD | about the financial aid, the profile and the fafsa, do you accept both? and it seemed that you could be applied before even submitting financial aid, how does that work? |
| Marlene | fafsa is due in April? |
| SIT Colleen | yes, alchen |
| GregP | Did anyone here participate in the ECOES program? |
| SIT Colleen | no, we just accept fafsa, not profile |
| SIT Bridget | Greg P- We need the SAT scores for Ed by Dec. 1st |
| Marlene | What is ECOES? |
| SIT Colleen | for regular decision, we recommend you submit fafsa by 2-15 |
| SIT Bridget | FAFSA is due in April |
| KCalleo | should we submit our SAT scores before or after we submit our application? |
| SIT Bridget | but if you are applying ED- then you need to do the ED financial aid form on line at steven's website |
| kerrilkill | i went to ecoes greg |
| SIT Colleen | sooner the better kcal |
| SIT Shane | ECOES is our summer program |
| SIT Bridget | Just submit the SAT when you can, as soon as you can |
| GregP | what session did you go to? |
| lehafG | but if we are early decision, when do we submit FAFSA? |
| ChristianSa | when is the stevens financial aid aplication due november 15th? |
| SIT Colleen | you submit the early decision financial aid form |
| emadcreswell | does SIT offer scholarships based on academic performance? like merit based? if so, what do yall base the scholarship off of |
| SIT Colleen | christian are you applying regular? if so try to get fafsa in by 2-15 |
| lehafG | but I dont want financial aid, I want to know how to get a scholarship |
| SIT Bridget | you submit ED financial aid form then you do the FAFSA with everyone else |
| Knil2 | I don't know if this was answered, but do you need the FAFSA form to be considered for merit-based scholarships? |
| ChristianSa | i have already applied for ED1 |
| SIT Bridget | Congrats ChristianSA |
| ChristianSa | i am curious when i need to get in your financial aid application in by |
| SIT Colleen | lehaf, you will automatically be considered, no additional forms are necessary |
| SIT Shane | emad we do offer scholarships, they are based on everything interview, recs, transcript SAT's... |
| emadcreswell | i dont think FAFSA is needed for merit based scholarships |
| SIT Colleen | knil, you do not need to fill out fafsa for merit money |
| Knil2 | Thanks! |
| SIT Bridget | ? |
| SIT Bridget | ChristianSa- did youfill out the ED supplement |
| emadcreswell | ok then |
| Knil2 | I'll probably have more questions later. Dinner time now, lol. |
| emadcreswell | if i have any more questions |
| emadcreswell | i will come back |
| emadcreswell | thank you guys |
| SIT Shane | bye emad |
| SIT Colleen | ok knil, thanks for stopping by, you too emad |
| lehafG | Oh, so I don't have to submit anything for scholarships at all? |
| ChristianSa | yes i did a common app and i filled out the supplement form they asked for is that what you are talking about ? |
| SIT Colleen | nope! just fafsa for need based financial aid |
| Alchen | when i will be notified of the interview if i apply early decision? |
| SIT Bridget | WAs it this? http://www.stevens.edu/undergrad/docs/supplemental/EDFinAidApp.pdf |
| SIT Colleen | alchen, if you want to apply ED, call us tomorrow at 201-216-5194 and schedule an interview ASAP! |
| SIT Bridget | This is a GREAT website to make sure you have everything that you need |
| SIT Bridget | http://www.stevens.edu/undergrad/ED.html |
| ChristianSa | no i did not |
| SITStudent2 | Hey Leaf. I believe the only scholarship that you need to apply is the DeBaun Scholarship for performing arts. |
| SIT Bridget | You must fill out THAT document to be considered for FInancial AID for ED |
| lehafG | what is teh Debaun scholarship for performing arts tho? |
| SIT Bridget | Lastly- did you sign the agreement? |
| Alchen | oh, have interviews already started long ago? |
| ChristianSa | i did on the common app site |
| SIT Colleen | the debaun scholarship is for performing artists - you can send us samples of your art, or a tape of you playing your instrument, etc |
| SITStudent2 | Its for students who are interested in music, drama, instrument, and alike - basically performing arts. |
| ChristianSa | and does that need to be in by the 15th |
| lehafG | oh, but what if im not interested in performing arts, then I'm not elligble for scholarships? |
| prometheus | And you cannot get that for a science major application even if you play an instrument? |
| SIT Colleen | no lehaf, you can be eligible for all of our other ones |
| SIT Bridget | Prometheus- private chat me |
| prometheus | (Just double checking because I've been playing an instrument for 10 years) |
| prometheus | Ok |
| SIT Colleen | prom, you can major in anything |
| SIT Colleen | and still get the scholarship |
| SIT Colleen | so, apply!! |
| prometheus | Oh! |

| SIT Colleen | jed, just be yourself, and let us know about your life! |
| SITStudent2 | Sleeping Bag weekend is basically you spend a day as a college student |
| SIT Bridget | The essay is a unique way of expressing yourself. Write about what you want to write about |
| BryantLewis | Alchen, what's the dat/mcat? I didn't see your message on it |
| SIT Shane | you go to classes, meet students and faculty... go to differents events... |
| M_OLIVAREZ | do you guys still have that program with NYU? and do i have to apply to NYU seperately? |
| pr90 | i would soo go up for sleeping bag weekend but im only a junior... |
| SITStudent2 | Live with current student, attend classes and do what we normally do |
| SIT Colleen | the dat is the entrance exam for dental school. the mcat is the etnrance exam for med school. they are very hard but stevens prepares students very well for the exams |

| SIT Bridget | 2000+ |

| BryantLewis | true story |
| SIT Bridget | Hey Stevenssssss |
| pr90 | yea but nyu... banging |
| BryantLewis | there was a Mechanical Bull on campus? |
| SIT Bridget | Yep= IT WAS AWEWSOME |
| pr90 | stilll a smaller school is better |
| BryantLewis | ! |
| SIT Bridget | Hi Andrew |
| BryantLewis | oh was it? |
| neal2go | do you offer architecture and business (specifically finance) majors? |
| BryantLewis | did you ride it, Bridget? |
| SITStudent2 | twice this year.. once last week.. and the other during freshmen orientation |
| SITStudent | here's campus. |
| SIT Colleen | but if you want the big school experience you can take classes at nyu for free!!! |
| SITStudent2 | Neal, we have a business and technology major |
| SIT Shane | neal we have finance and econ as minors not majors |
| vtulino | When is the next Open House? |
| SIT Bridget | Sadly- I did not, but I saw a few people get thrown off |
| andrew marrack | sorry im late guys |
| SITStudent2 | with optiosn of conentration in Finance |
| BryantLewis | good quesiton vtulino...high five for you |
| SIT Bridget | hi andrew no worries |
| SIT Shane | Neal our starting salaries for the business grad last year was 59,500 |
| stevenssssss | ultimately, what made you guys choose stevens over all the other colleges you were accepted to? |
| neal2go | i see, thanks for the info |
| BryantLewis | we didn't choos yet stevens : D |
| pr90 | how are the dorms for Frosh???? |
| SITStudent | but Ic chose it already |
| stevenssssss | im asking the stevens students of course |
| SITStudent | due to Co Op |
| neal2go | wow 59,000 seems good for a starting slary |
| BryantLewis | oh |
| SITStudent | location |
| nileshraju | Does Stevens Help you get a job after you graduate? |
| SITStudent | and size |
| SIT Colleen | many people choose stevens over other colleges because our starting salaries are a lot higher than many of our peer schools, and our students get better jobs |
| BryantLewis | yeah, i knew THAT, stevens :> |
| SITStudent | those were the main things |
| vtulino | I haven't chosen yet but I feel it is superior to most engineering offering schools and that I will receive the education I need to be a great engineer. |
| SIT Colleen | plus.. we are next to NYC!! |
| SITStudent | the career center is great and Co Op is amazing too |
| KCalleo | if you don't apply for the pre-med program as a freshman, can you apply for it again as a sophomore (if you're accepted)? |
| andrew marrack | dorm question X2 |
| SIT Bridget | Stevens is a fabulous school: Its close to NYC- but far enough away. Its on a beautiful campus with a great city just a block down teh hill. The repurtation is amazing with a faculty pool that is passionate about their work. All in all this campus is always alive.... and what a great thing to be apart of |
| SITStudent | the dorms are pretty nice, I had some people come and say they had closets compared to ours |
| neal2go | are students required to dorm? because i live in north bergen which is right next to hoboken |
| SITStudent2 | Our Career Center is the only one in the tri-state to be ranked in the Nation's Top 20 Career Center |
| nileshraju | ds |
| vtulino | Nobody answered my open house question... |
