<p>Any comp engineers take the placement test? Took mine march 24th still no word for when my orientation is and someone who took it April 5 got their date already. It said I didn’t have to take the chem test because comp engineering doesn’t need chemistry so I just took the math and now I’m getting nervous that I was supposed to take the chem one…</p>

It seems like the postcards with the scheduled orientation day are kinda slow getting out.</p>
