Baller_ RichardDoane Posted September 30, 2009 Baller_ Share Posted September 30, 2009 My son is doing the application process to colleges for next year, he's engineering/math minded, or possible medical/dental. Just wondering what BOS people would recommend for an alma mater where watersports is part of the mix. I actually graduated from SDSU, but wasn't tuned into the waterski team back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GMC Posted September 30, 2009 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2009 Purdue comes to mind. No, I did not go there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted September 30, 2009 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2009 Texas A&M has one of the best, if not the best, engineering programs in the country and also a nice waterski team. I drove for em yesterday in preparation for collegiate regionals which is this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jim Neely Posted October 1, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 1, 2009 The National Collegiate Water ski Site has a recruitment selection. http://www.ncwsa.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/recruitmentcatalogMy Daughter skis for Clemson. They have a great engineering department. It's a long way from the west coast, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DaveD Posted October 1, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 1, 2009 Michigan Tech. The ski rides a little high because the water there is white and fluffy./vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted October 2, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 2, 2009 I would agree w/ Shane - A&M would be a fine choice. Their water ski team is very active in the SCR region and a history of great student leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted October 5, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2009 I coach a bit for both SDSU and UCSD. We can ski year round - well actually it is a bit too cold in the summer. San Diego winter water is normally 60F - OK with a full wetsuit. SDSU is supposed to be getting a new Nautique soon. UCSD has an 05 MC. Both have excellent waterski programs. Both are really hard to get into academically. My older son's 4.2 GPA was not enough for UCSD but we did not have the coach (Bill Schneiderwind) pull any strings for him as he wanted to get away from home. SDSU is not quite as bad but you still need excellent grades. The coach there (Mike Theimann) can also pull some strings and offer tiny scholarships.Email me at eleeski at aol dot com and I'll forward your email to them. If your son is coming down with you to Imperial, I might be able to get him a tour of SDSU - I had one arranged for Alex when she was thinking of coming to the tournament (I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery). Call me if you want a tour.Eric Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AdamCord Posted October 5, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2009 PURDUE has it all! They have a top ten ranked undergrad engineering program, one of the most organized student run water ski teams in the country, a lake that's 5 minutes off campus, AND the mascot is a train! What's better than a train mascot? Plus look at the great water skiers who went there: Jeff Surdej (midwest region EVP / head of NCWSA), Cale Burdick (pro skier / soon to be a doctor?), Neil Armstrong (I'm sure he's skied), me, and many more!
