<p>Here's what I'm looking at for match/safeties
UCLA Eng.
UCB Eng.
UCSD Eng.
Northwestern
Wash. U St. Louis
Cornell Engineering (legacy)</p>

<p>Applied ED SEAS UPenn (don't tell me I'm in for sure though, because I know that nothing's sure when it comes to Ivies, esp. with me :))</p>

<p>gmman:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (Engineering)
UCSD: Safe Match (Engineering)</p>

3

<p>gmman, i hear you about the ivies (Cornell Engineering ED.) That being said, if you don't get in ED, it's by chance. That being said, you will get into one of your "reaches."</p>

4

<p>should have applied to Cornell ED - its engineering is best in ivies and certainly better than Penn's ..but good luck anyway</p>

5

<p>thanks i'm gonna need it. (see tension is building up thread on chances board)</p>

6

<p>Well, honestly, I don't care. I like Penn overall as a school more than Cornell, and I'm certainly not going to limit myself to just engineering courses :)</p>

7

<p>i hear you. i wasn't dissing penn</p>

8

<p>I'm not dissing Cornell either--I just don't want to spend my next four years in the coldest place on earth ;) I'd probably be applying Cornell ED is it was 1. near a city and 2. not so damn cold ;)</p>

9

<p>yeah i know. it is very cold and isolated</p>

10

<p>It is, anyone want to comment on my chances/suggest safety/match schools for me though? It's rather urgent ;)</p>

11

<p>U MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE KIDDO, THIS PLACE IS ######### cold</p>

12

<p>Are you a CA resident? If so, Berkeley is a match/safety, otherwise good luck man. Not sure if you can call that a safety.</p>

<p>I was going to suggest WUSTL but you have it already.</p>

<p>How bout Vanderbilt?</p>

13

<p>I am a CA resident, I'm hoping Berkeley is in the match range :) The engineering program is supposed to be rather hard to get into, though..</p>

14

<p>Well your stats are almost identical to mine except you have SAT IIs and a lower GPA.</p>

<p>I'd say if anyone has a chance at Berkeley it's you.</p>

<p>Would you consider Rice? That might be a good idea, not for a safety but a match.</p>

15

<p>Thanks, I was thinking about Rice, how's the location? I don't know much about the school other than that it's a good school with a good engineering program.. and it's in Texas (that part makes me nervous, but I don't like judging soley on the state it's in so :p)</p>
