<p>Applying to:
UVA (instate) Engineering
UT-Austin Engineering
Cornell (reach, i know, but dad pays the tuition, so he has input)</p>
<p>I like VT's engineering, but thats all they seem to have, and i want a broader education that includes humanities/other sciences...basically, an engineering education with a liberal arts "flare" to it (i've never gotten below a B+ in an english or history class, and i happen to kick butt in english, as i've never had a teacher who hasn't liked my writing style, even though it tends to be a bit lengthy sometimes =P)
so, if anyone can suggest other schools that are strong in engineering but can offer me a wider range of classes, it would be great =)
What would be my chances at the schools i have so far?</p>
