<p>Q1. Safe match (closer to safe than match but not quite safety)</p>

<p>Q2. U Rochester and WPI. (But only cause I don’t know RIT very well)</p>

<p>Q3. Dunno.</p>

<p>Q4. Not that I’ve heard.</p>

<p>Q5. Yes.</p>

<p>Q6. Carnegie Mellon, but only if you are SURE about computer engineering.</p>

<p>Q.1 - UVA is difficult out of state…I’d say it’s 50/50.</p>

<p>Q.2 - U of Rochester, definitely. I don’t know anything about the other two, but I think they’re around the same tier, so it’ll probably just come down to personal preferrence. </p>

<p>Q.3 - Not better, just different. And much bigger (I think Toronto’s enrollment is around 60k). </p>

<p>Q.4 - All I know is that it’s supposedly “fun-deprived”. </p>

<p>Q.5 - Pretty much. </p>

<p>Q.6 - CMU.</p>

<p>Q.7 - I wouldn’t say that.</p>
