<p>I know...if I wasn't already suspicious at UCB's rank, I definitely started laughing at the UCSF one...they're both great schools, but 2nd and 9th (or was it the 11th) in the world? Hmmm.</p>

<p>UVa is about as competitive out of state as Cornell is. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.virginia.edu/stats&facts/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.virginia.edu/stats&facts/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>As seen on that website, their out of state admission rate is 30%. However, this surely varies between undergrad schools, which have overall admission rates varying from 23% (nursing) to 58%(engineering), as seen here:</p>

<p>BTW, if you click data digest on the left side of the page, you can find some cool info...hehe, for any of you interested in UVa ;) .</p>

<p>has cavalier shown up again? wow.</p>

1244

<p>cornell & uva - two ****ty schools.</p>

1245

<p>Aww, don't diss UVa. That's where I'm going if Princeton and Yale reject me (and if I get in to UVa).</p>

1246

<p>cavalier shows up randomly :D</p>

1247

<p>cornell's not bad in the sciences...i mean there are a lot of people who'd die to go there</p>

1248

<p>Yes, I appeared randomly :) . How's everyone holdin' up?</p>

<p>BTW, I dispute the sh!tt!ness of Cornell and UVa.</p>

1249

<p>And there seems to be a number of people who die going there, too. Haha, Enco, was that intentional?</p>

1250

<p>yea, i would die if i had to go there.</p>

1251

<p>Ilcapo was <em>kidding</em>, as usual (and if he wasn't, he's still in good form). We're holding up...so far..barely....you?</p>

1252

<p>haha, that was too cold, you guys. Too cold. But sadistically humorous, nevertheless. I once was really into Cornell...for about 2 days. Then I came to my senses and realized I could never survive in Ithaca, NY. I'm starting to come to that realization about Hanover, NH, too. Oh well. No more D-mouth for me, it seems.</p>

<p>We're not holding up at all. At least not I. I'm simply in denial that I even applied in the first place :) Croissants, anyone?</p>

1253

<p><em>croissant taken</em> I better fuel up b/c I know I'll end up going off food near D-Day...</p>

1254

<p>Haha, seriously. Get fat now, guys, 'cause you won't be eating much around Dec. 11-15. And some of us will probably be eating a lot of it afterwards...</p>

1255

<p>Agh! I am so nervous about this.....this decision is beyond huge, so I can't stop thinking about it....you're probablement in the same boat, though, so good times....</p>

1256

<p>ima nervous too :( but we can celebrate together once we get in. itll be fun! or really sad</p>

1257

<p>I'm doing alright, you know, not thinking about it at all...JK...I am very nervous, even though I shouldn't be because I know I'm not getting in. Guess who didn't get called for an interview? This guy! I've already submitted my application for Rice Interim Decision, so I'll have to see how that goes, and I would have started other apps were it not for the extreme amount of schoolwork I have. I am literally downing in it. Let's see...I have a three page econ paper to write, a three page gov't paper to write, an econ test tomorrow (haven't studied yet, and it's 12:30), a gov't test tomorrow (again, haven't studied), a physics term paper (2500 words), a geopolitics test monday on stuff I don't know yet, econ test tuesday, gov't test wednesday, english paper due monday on Tom Jones, a book I have not started and am supposed to have read around half of (400 pages)...oh oh and my econ test from the day of school I missed three weeks ago...gotta study up on that suff again and take it sometime soon...oh well, this workload isn't THAT much more than normal, but it certainly seems more oppressive to me given the circumstances...</p>

1258

<p>wow, that is a lot. I suddenly don't feel so bad. Good luck with all of that, cavalier.</p>

<p>And I didn't get called for an interview, either. But I'm not overly concerned since my friend who got in last year didn't get one...</p>

1259

<p>Sweet! Neither of us is an autoreject, maybe we'll both get in. :)</p>

1260

<p>That's what I'm hoping :)
I looked over my app for the first time again tonight (I made a copy of it before I sent it) and I was pleasantly surprised...I was expecting to see so much wrong with it since I finished it on 10/31. But I' m pretty sure that I "put my best foot forward," so to speak....so no regrets. If I don't get in, I'll at least know it wasn't because I messed up my application.</p>
