I also went for the best letter writers I could find, and really tried to shine on the personal statement. Not bad, but not great either. I started thinking about engineering years ago during law school. I became really interested in science and math and I wasn't sure why I avoided it for so long. I really want to go into patent law, or engineering itself. I hope you get in as well Adamlau. It's apparent you appreciate the opportunity LEAP offers, and I'm sure they see your commitment as well.
Although I am a chemistry major, my field isn't very close to engineering. I am more prepared to be an organic chemistry. The type of classes I took don't really fit what MatSci degree is looking for and there is a lot I still need to learn in order to be successful in the field.
So I am just playing the waiting game right now. How about you, did you apply anywhere else? But in case I don't get in I'll keep my job with the engineering company and try again later while I continue to take some coursework for some BS programs that still award second Bachelors degrees e. It's okay though, I love my job and it's really good experience.
I just want the engineering training so I can be more productive and contribute more at work as far as engineering stuff. I can't make them love me! Hey everybody. I am a current LEAP student. I started two years ago, and am in the middle of my Master's coursework. I would wholeheartedly recommend the LEAP program to any aspiring engineers. The community of LEAP students alone make the program worth it, as it is a very tight-knit group of smart and dedicated and cool people.
Boston University is very good to its engineering students, and I think the quality of education is much better than BU's engineering rankings would make it seem. Anyway, if you have questions about the program, I'd be happy to answer them.
Just shoot me a message on this forum. If you want to contact the program director directly, her name is Helaine Friedlander, and she is extremely helpful and approachable. LEAP is her baby, and she really goes all out to get good students into the program and help them along as they go. Her email is hrf0 bu.
In my case, I found out that I was in about two weeks before Summer classes started! And what are you studying in the leap program? And thanks for answering our questions! Thanks i hmcguinness. This is on my list of graduate school programs to apply this upcoming fall. Do you know where online or offline you learned about the program besides BU School of Engineering's website.
It is limited and I have talked to Mrs. Thanks and grats! I found out from Helaine over the phone and eventually got a letter.
I think I called her. Things may have become more formalized since then, but it is a pretty small program, so things can be pretty informal in a good way. Anyone applying should definitely make contact with Helaine and get on her radar.
I got most of my info from the website and talking to helaine. I also attended an information session in If you've got more questions, keep them coming.

Good luck. I wish I had majored in engr in the first place. Posted March 31, Hey armoluv7, Way to get 'er done!
