<p>anyway, good luck with the first 10...but if you beat me out for USC...(<em>knuckles crack</em>)...j/k</p>

4

<p>is janmedia ur company!!!??</p>

5

<p>No the company I worked for. Was assigned as head of the "small" business section. Anyways I really want to go to USC or UVA... are my chances really close to none?</p>

6

<p>I already have 8 schools I'm sure of applying to and I don't want to do work for another application if I already know I'm going to be rejected. So I'm thinking about applying to one more but I dunno if it be USC, UVA, or Union. Best shot at Union but it isn't known for computer science?</p>

7

<p>well low gpa really hurts you but because you're instate you could get into UVA...but stay away from USC!... USC is possible cuz of your legacy (missed it the first time) but I wouldn't bet on it (i'm a bit of a pessimist sometimes)</p>

8

<p>Right so I'm deciding on applying to USC or UVA... I know UVA highly considers state residency, plus their engineering department isn't as competitive as USC. But why do you say stay away from USC?</p>

9

<p>(that was a joke) because I'm applying to USC engineering too</p>

10

<p>Har har. So seriously dude... which do you think I have a better shot at? I'm assuming your SAT scores and GPA are much much higher than mines?</p>

11

<p>honestly, just apply to both but I think the in-state thing will help you at UVA, but I don't know about USC.</p>

12

<p>8 + 2 more schools = 10 schools. You don't think that's too many?</p>

13

<p>if u're applying to 9 already, adding one more wont be too many</p>
