General Comments: I got into Carnegie Mellon (albeit it's science school rather than engineering) and waitlisted at Cornell Engineering. Right now my plan is to go for Cornell waitlist and if that doesn't work out, CMU it'll be. I just seem to think UVa will not be a good choice since I'm pretty set on doing computer science and either math, physics, or EE, and UVa doesn't appear to be all that great in those fields. I don't know maybe somebody can convince me otherwise.</p>

I got waitlisted at UPenn so I'm hoping to get in there or its UVA. But I'm not planning on getting in so I'm excited about going to UVA next year.</p>

<p>damn, so I guess I didn't get it.</p>

<p>yeah me either but you can still apply for Echols second semester. you just have to work hard and make all A's the first semester. Thats what I plan on doing.</p>

<p>Yeah, but it's still a little disappointing. I'm going to brown anyway.</p>
