Class of 2011/2015 Decision Thread

<p>Waitlisted for engineering… Don’t really know what I should do or want at this point…Does this mean that university studies is out of the question as well?</p>

<p>@BUKLAU I’m not sure about that but</p>

<p>I request engineering as my major and was accepted (today) into university studies.</p>

<p>So your status page says that you were admitted to university studies? Then I’m guessing I’m just waitlisted in general for engineering…I just can’t believe I won’t be attending tech this fall…This is real tough to swallow</p>
