<p>So now that their results are out, I'd be especially interested in anyone comparable telling where they got in. Harvey Mudd is probably my first choice right now, maybe ED there, my feeling is HYPS are all pretty reachy, UC's are pretty good possibilities, and Harvey Mudd is a match. I live in California and plan on applying to UC Berkeley and San Diego</p>
