I applied to 2 schools, Kennesaw State University, and Southern Polytechnic. I sent my application in Spring of 2002 to start school in Fall 2003. Why? I was still in the navy at the time, and was going to be leaving for a deployment. I wasn't sure how long the application process would take, so I applied early.
I didnt think much about it when mom asked me for my fax number on the ship. She just said she had some stuff she wanted to send me. So I went to the fax machine and had 2 acceptance letters. I whooped and hollered and ran around my office and all my co-workers thought I was insane. All I coul think of is "I'm going to school when I get off this damn floating hunk of steel!"
I chose SPSU because they accepted some military experience as credits and KSU didnt. Plus, at the time, SPSU had an IT program, and KSU only had Computer Science. They now have an Information Security program, but I like right where I am
