•NJIT has a great reputation in Chem Eng and still has very good facilities.
• I knew I wouldn’t do as well if I lived away from home.  The only other school I applied for was Rutgers Engineering in New Brunswick.
• My entrepreneurial tendencies started early.  I started a door to door sales business during my junior year of HS.  I liked the money and didn’t want to lose my customers during the school year.
•Family history. I also had an uncle and three brothers-in-law graduate from here.
• My father had a very good business mind.  He was willing to pay so much for my education and not endanger his retirement.  I also didn’t want to be paying off a school debt.  Debt is bad.
