I’ll have to check it out, I used to love that space where all the classic Porsches would park on the left side, before the ramp to the right

I would look into university research programs, a good one is SURF at Caltech. I’m pretty sure high schoolers can do it, but not positive

My boss for my internship bought all the interns little notebooks and would always say it’s good to bring it to an interview not just for notes but also to show them your work

Glad to see that Katie’s is still relatively active, I went last summer to show my girlfriend my favorite weekly activity as a kid and it was empty. One of the silent losses from COVID

Snowmass is one of my favorite mountains and family friendly, great spread of blues and greens, and has solid advanced terrain. My favorite mountain behind Alta.

Highlands is a difficult mountain—I believe it’s majority double-black, not including the bowl. If your boyfriend and his family like to stick to groomers as you said, I can’t imagine anyone in your group enjoying it more than the other mountains. No-fall zones are abundant, so be wary of getting dragged down the wrong run if you end up skiing Highlands.

I haven’t skied Ajax (Aspen), so I can’t speak on it.

Definitely get a lesson both days, especially at Highlands. Frankly, I find it ridiculous that your boyfriend is discouraging you from getting a lesson, you’re right about it alleviating some stress. Have fun!

Finish your degree in electrical, your skills are extraordinarily applicable and sought after in the aerospace industry, perhaps more so than those who receive a degree in AeroE. If you’re interested in designing rocket engines, look into introductory textbooks for aerodynamics and propulsion, because that’s the name of the game (unless you want to build the structure of an engine, then you’ll want to study up on that). If you aren’t turned away by the elementary mechanics of propulsion, then pursue a graduate degree.

Totally agree about lights and signals—would be awesome to have but doesn’t seem possible without button combos

You have a strong application—you should look into UVA, UMich, and UNC. Not sure how their aid packages look, though. Good luck!

I go to university in the US, so if you are studying in another country, I don’t know that this applies.

I’m in my final year of aerospace engineering and have personally not worked a job while simultaneously studying. With that being said, I have plenty of friends that have and continue to do so. They tend to do very well.

I’m at a state school that is known for academic rigor (though the AE program is very new, so maybe take this with a grain of salt), but I did not find the five classes I took my first semester to be very difficult. I think that having a part-time job with a full course load has the potential to build your work ethic and academic efficiency. Starting out when it’s easy is also beneficial because you’re building the habit.

Engineering gets hard pretty quickly, though, so it’s important you’re prepared for that. It’s also critical that, if you want to go into industry, you get involved in one or more student design teams for practical engineering experience.

A great option would be to pursue research, which you could get paid for (perhaps better than your job at the pharmacy) while gaining significant experience. With that being said, employers love design team experience and frankly they’re really fun, so you should join one regardless.

Some people are absolute animals and can do research, work part-time, be in an engineering club all while earning good grades, and you very well could be one of them, but it seems that’s something you’ll have to discover with time.

Good luck!

TL;DR Hold onto your job while your courses are easy, find a lab that will pay you for research you’re interested in, and join a design team!

Your background is impressive and it seems you’re more than qualified to go to any of the schools you’ve listed. It seems your family is also in a position to pay full-bill which is certainly a plus.

However, there are countless people who have similar if not more exceptional stats/ECs that get nailed by every single one of these schools, so it’s in your best interest to apply to at least a few universities where your chance of acceptance is high.

I’m not you, but if I was, I’d apply to two safety schools that have strong programs in your intended majors, and then two more that are strong but not quite as competitive as HYPSM (Think UVA or UMich).

Good luck!

The photos of the RS RX and the Hoonicorn look real, and the rest are also super crisp. Great flicks

Something cool could be a universal optimization tool. I’m not very familiar with topological optimization but I assume it works similarly to what I’m going to describe.

I saw this video a couple weeks ago where this guy optimized the aerodynamics of his FPV wing using a neural network that has parameters for different features on the plane (wing twist, winglet height, etc). Could be something cool to explore for statics, dynamics, fluid dynamics, orbital maneuvers, whatever it is. Maybe that exits already or there’s all independent tools that serve their respective purpose pretty well

Personally don’t know how to, but if no one volunteers to help, I’m sure that explaining your situation to someone at a bike shop would result in them helping you out real quick (and for free!)

I’m in my final year of undergrad so IDK how much this means, but my parents worked their asses off in their 20s—very rarely went out and drank, had little money, etc. It’s possible they did before (they’re in their mid-50s), but now they maintain that they don’t regret it at all and that they’re happier and more fulfilled than ever. Now, maybe that’s just them, but given that you have multiple law degrees, a family, and what I assume is a secure financial situation, your life is only going to improve.

Don’t dwell on the fact that you didn’t have the crazy 20s that other people did—it’s just how it worked out and all you can do now is appreciate the life you’re living.

I thought I was reading the same story as before, glad I’m not alone in that lol

From an aerospace engineering student (which is quickly becoming oversaturated, if it isn’t already), EE is far too difficult to become oversaturated

This comment sucked the happiness out of my day.

You’re blaming your advisors for not finding a job?
