<p>Comments: My Sat's sucked compared to everyone else but I guess since i got in it doesn't really matter. Yay acceptance</p>

146

<p>any archies that got in yet?</p>

147

<p>I... Didn't... Get... anything... yet... does... that... mean... I'm... rejected???</p>

<p>well... I got accepted into UCSD already which I think is where I might go if I get rejected from Berkeley.</p>

148

<p>Hmm a lot of the acceptances are for CIT though, some SCS and MCS, little HSS & Tepper. So maybe they sent a huge batch of CIT first? I don't know, just hoping I get some good news when I get mine cause so far I've been waitlisted to 2 schools, and having to wait even longer is going to kill me. Like my whole grade knows where they are going to college, and I hate having to tell people that I don't know. Plus, it's not even like I can afford financially to get waitlisted.</p>

149

<ol>
<li>The largest school is CIT</li>
<li>SCS/CIT people are more likely to get online and post on an internet board. No offense but usually Tepper/HSS people are more social and less likely to go online. Drama people are another story because they are INSANE. Go to your high school's best drama department and hang out with them to get an idea of how obsessive they are about drama. Multiply that by around 10 and you'll get CMU drama students.</li>
</ol>
