<p>What did you want to major in? Your SAT scores aren’t bad… Sorry about your mom :(</p>

3

<p>Electrical Engineering. And yeah thanks for the concern.</p>

4

<p>Hmmm…it seems to be a bit of a reach, cal poly won’t look at your SAT II scores for admission, and your GPA is on the low side of the average for engineering in general. I’m not sure how competative electrical engineering is though.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the rating. I hope things work out, but as always they never do. That is life!</p>

6

<p>Don’t get too discouraged-it’s impossible to know what will happen because nobody knows what their compitition is going to be like.</p>

7

<p>Ah, I guess that is true, but my luck is never good. I hope I can get into SDSU or Pomona at least…</p>

8

<p>don’t worry. I have almost the same stats… with lower SATs… you might get accepted, you never know =] just don’t think about it too much.</p>

9

<p>It is so much easier said than done. Everytime I get on the computer I start looking up statistics and crap about all the schools I applied to, and it makes me more and more worried about if I do not get accepted. Stress for no reason.</p>

<p>dude… i know how you feel. i feel the same way and i used to go online looking at everyone stats, making me feel stupid and dumb. just try not to think about it!</p>
