<p>Hunt, I appreciate your honesty. Yes, many of these schools are harder to get into then most people give them credit for. I’ve taken your advice keeping in mind that I would like to stay on the east coast and have tried to expand my list to other schools in midtier:
Carnegie Mellon
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
UNC-Chapel Hill
Georgia Tech</p>
<p>If anyone else would like to offer their opinions on these schools as well as my other ones that would be great.</p>
