    Congrats! That is most definitely exceptional news and cause to be proud and celebrate.

    I received a BS in mechanical and a BS in aerospace engineering a few years ago. I’ve loved my job so far.

    At least Bluto could spell. Most Deltas would be intellectuals by today's standards.

    Cool! I'm a UMass alum (medical training, not undergrad) and an engineering alum (from a different university). Congrats. But in all seriousness, please learn to spell college. A collage is of course an assembled collection of photographs or other images. ;)

    Cool coin too!

    Congrats on both counts!!!

    My daughter is a UMass Boston alum. She thought it was a great college to attend.

    Congratulations Markelman! My son is studying engineering now at the Univ. of Rochester. I think I enjoyed the college visits more than he did.

    It's ironic that one college we looked at was Worcester Polytechnic (WPI). During the visit and tour, the admissions people joked that they are engineers and geeks and don't know how to spell. They said half of their incoming students can't spell banana... and they were ok with that!!

    I'm sure you can spell just fine. You were accepted into their honors college along with the engineering school. Not a cupcake achievement!

    One of my best friends is an electrical engineer. He graduated from college still spelling "people" as "peaple." You are in excellent company!

    The thrill of the acceptance letter - I remember it well. Congrats again. Get ready for some tough classes. I found the first two years of med school to be far easier than any of my years in the undergrad engineering program.

    Don't take out a loan.....work your arse off, no partying, and pay as you go. It can be done (my wife and I both held full time jobs for our BS's. Wife got through in 5 years and me in 7 years) and I did the same for my MBA (took 8 years to complete this one).
    Just do it!

    Congratulations! I'm not a biomedical engineer, but I do have a PhD in molecular biology, so there may be some overlap if you have questions.

    Congratulations! I hope they teach spelling there.

    In all seriousness, attention to detail matters, particularly in an engineering field.

    Amd glad that you have your priorities straight by mentioning the coin first.

    Congrats! College was a blast--work hard, but don't forget to enjoy it.

    As far as spelling and grammar go, I'm an absolute stickler, but if you lack any skills in those areas, you'll be in plenty good company.

    Glad to see you didn't choose a Mechanical Engineering major like I did. Bio-med is a better way to go, career-wise. Best of luck to you.

    Lots of collecting years ahead, as you assemble and sell sets over time, keep the keys. I wish I had.
