Intended Major: Economics/Government/Finance
Other schools in mind: UVA, Dartmouth, Georgetown, CMU, William & Mary, Pitt.
Other Factors: none
General Comments:
Waitlisted at Georgetown, Cornell, CMU, admitted UVA, still waiting on william and Mary, rejected Dartmouth after deferral. but as the time drew closer I kept thinking about all kinds of different things, like it it too cold, too frat-dominated, too big, etc etc. But that's only natural and I think I picked some good colleges so regardless of what I do it will be a good start to my future. good luck to all, whereever you may go. We are all very privileged just to be able to go to college, no matter where. Never forget that. Never feel sorry for yourself, and who honestly cares an iota where your classmates are going. You look around, you fall behind in the race. "UPON MYSELF I MUST DEPEND." Again best of luck to all!</p>

[/ul]General Comments:
Cornell has been stalking me ever since I took my PSATs, seriously. I've gotten so many phone calls and so many e-mails and so many letters it's been insane. Actually, Cornell is on the bottom of my college list, hehe. I'm really surprised I got into Engineering, because I don't really see much in my app that stands out. Either way, it's better than what I got from CMU (accepted third choice School of Information Systems -_-), but most likely I'll decline admission - I'm headed for MIT.</p>
