My originally application to rose was denied because I didn't take physics in high school, but they let me take it online and then they accepted me (currently a junior ME).

Now if you are serious about a job in racing then try to get into rose and joking Formula SAE. Work hard, make decent grades, and be active with Formula SAE and you will probably have a great shot in Motorsports. I know a kid that was on SAE my freshman year is now the lead engineer on Denny Hamlin's team. See him on tv all the time. This is all after he worked as an intern for Andretti's Indy car team. So your dream isn't too far off if your willing to work hard for it. Give rose a call, or message me on here if ya have any questions.

Rose Hulman is a super school for mechanical engineers. I guess times have changed in the last several years. Back when My son was getting ready to start college, I think Ryan Newman was going to Rose Holman at the time, we made the trip down there and were told that there was about a two year wait to get in.

If your parents can afford the tuition, if you are really driven and if they would let you in Rose Hulman would be my choice. They do have a Formula SAE team at the time Purdue did not have one.

Keep up the good work Hotshoe it's all downhill from here.
