- Notes
- Very non-traditional background! I started out in college at 15 studying physics and math. I made a transfer when I was 18 to a top 50 school for electrical engineering. I am currently 21. Co-oped at two aerospace/defense contractors. The first built plane power distribution systems. The second manufactured ballistic missile and weapons parts. I was also picked up by a NASA training program in August of 2018. My undergrad GPA was subpar and I have no undergrad research experience, but one generic LOR and one strong LOR from a PI at NASA got me the spot. I am awaiting info on financial aid, but if I can get enough aid that loans can take over the difference and I get a stipend, I will accept. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!
