I've been wondering about this, myself.

I go to UVA(not as an engineer) and I think that GA tech or Mellon is the better engineering schools. But if money is a concern then UVA is a great deal and still an excellent school.

LOL.
Ken, seeing as how you left high school about 54 years ago I think it's high time you decided what to do with your life. You can't just bum around in your parents basement forever you know....

I know someone that went to Reed. He said the academics were tought

You applied to a lot of University of Californias!

Just got a nice large envelope from Northwestern University. w00t!

My friends think I'm insane when it comes to college decisions. Why? Because I'm refusing to check the online/email notifications and I'm waiting for the envelopes. I figure that I want to find out the traditional way and that large envelopes are just awesome. If I wanted to, I could check my email in one hour and receive online decisions. But am I going to? No....because I'm nutty like that.

As far as majors go...no fricken clue here. I thought that I wanted to go into Economics, but I've just recently decided that it's not for me (macroeconomics/Fed reserve stuff was driving me crazy).

 

[trains are bad]

I'm class of 07 undergrad, Physics and Math major. I'm going to Bozeman, MT this summer for a well-paying research internship. I'm very excited. You may be jealous.

I just received my acceptance packet from Northwestern University. W00t.


I'll be hearing a final decision from Cornell at 5:00 PM EST.

Yeah...I'm in a similar situation with some of my colleges. I could check my email and find out from them just like you, but I'm just insane. Good luck surviving the next 20 minutes or so!

Even though I'll be a senior in two years, I'm still scared of college admissions. I know this kid that got all As in everything, was the president of robotics club, did lots of sports, that didn't get accepted into MIt.

Dude, don't jinx these guys, Ivy Decision Day is nerve-wracking enough without stories like those.

Good luck for those waiting! It was four years ago that I got into Penn, but I can still remember how that felt - I was on top of the world for a week afterwards.

I don't know much about the strength of the engineering schools, but UVA is a great place to go to school. I'm a "double-Hoo" and loved all seven years there. Also, as someone else pointed out, it can be a pretty good bargain tuition wise if you are in state.

 

[Veniogenesis]

All right, I've gotten into Cornell University.

One more school to go......

 

[jpburton5150]

Yikes rejected from Berkely (due to SAT legal stuff is my guess) and rejected from Harvard (what was I thinking? haha). Stanford tomorrow... I don't want to wake up haha. Not a good streak.

Ah well, all the smartest people I know didn't get into any ivies when they applied either.

Senioritis officially starts now, even though I've already graduated.


Looks like University of Marly College Park is in top standing at the moment. I was accepted to their Honors and Gemstones Program and received a Presidential Scholarship (I'm out of state). Waiting on any more scholarships from the Engineering dept.

It's either a school like Carnegie Mellon, USC, or Maryland which has an honors program as good as any other top school for $80,000 less in the end. Dun, dun, dun....
