I visited WPI in October and have loved the school ever since. Now that I’m further into my junior year and my interests have solidified, I’m leaning toward applying Early Decision for Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Astrophysics.

My only hesitation is the 'prestige' factor, the idea of potentially getting into a higher-ranked university. However, I truly feel WPI offers the best practical education for my major. For those who have attended: what was your experience like? Am I overestimating the value of the WPI curriculum, or is the hands-on approach as effective as it seems?
