<p>@timxie- yes, i am still being considered for education…thats good for us, at least, that we have not been rejected from our first choice yet! :)</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering !</p>
<p>SAT 2300
ACT. 34
GPA 3.1 - 3.2
ECs - mostly are music related
Essay - So So, I’m not a good writer but I do express my passion about robotic </p>
<p>I will withdraw all others, make my life easier, will wait from one more school then make decision between these two (if I got accept into that one too).</p>
<p>Happy !</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.6
ACT: 29
Extras: Lots of music stuff, a little sports</p>
<p>Decided to apply here instead of engineering, thinking my stats might not be good enough for eng. it worked!</p>
<p>But now i gotta decide: should I risk enrolling here and perhaps not be able to transfer into eng later, or should I just go to one of the other eng schools (Purdue, Penn State, WPI, etc).</p>
<p>Won’t be an easy decision. :(</p>
<p>@ ViLLiZi: Rejection, u say!!</p>
<p>UIUC rejects very very less no. of applicants.</p>
<p>Wow, sorry for my awful HTML skills there. Anyway, stats finally up. And congrats to everyone again! :)</p>
