<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:- kinda surprised, wasn’t gonna come here though so dont really care.</p>

<p>Much too lazy to post complete stats, but long story short:
GPA: 3.82 uw 4.46 w
Rank: top 10%
SAT: 2200 (800R/760W/640M)
ACT : 31
Courseload: IB diploma candidate, all IBs this year, IBs and electives (for a total of 11 classes out of the 8 usually taken at my school) last year, AP, honours, etc the years before.</p>

<p>Potential Major: Chem Engineering
Decision: Waitlisted</p>

<p>Comments: I was surprised to be waitlisted, but I wasn’t too keen on Villanova to begin–not sure how much I’d really fit in there–but it’s close and a solid school so I applied. I won’t keep my spot on the waitlist because it’s highly improbable that they’ll give me enough financial aid to beat UMD’s offer. Good luck to everyone else though!</p>
