<p>^ur from alaska bro. alaskans are pretty much minorities.</p>
<p>but I'm not from alaska.. </p>
<p>if you'll look at my stats I have similar, maybe a tiny bit better on the SATs and a little worse rank wise, gpa was ok i guess..</p>
<p>i was talking about robotfood.</p>
<p>yes I know, and I was comparing myself to robotfood, asking how, if we are indeed similar, it is that I got in since his thing was being "minority" for being from Alaska</p>
<p>if i havent heard back yet am i an automatic REJECT!?</p>
<p>Is it generally true that Engineering is harder to get in, hence the people who got into Engineering here have higher stats than others?</p>
