| Yeah... so, I have basically finished all of my College Applications and thought it would be interesting to see where all of the other current Seniors are applying and to let everyone know what I am considering.
I plan on majoring in Computer Science, but here are the schools I am applying to:
Case Western Reserve University - Accepted on December 15th, 2009 Carnegie Mellon University - Notification of Admission on April 15th, 2010 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Notification of Admission on March 14th, 2010 Vanderbilt University - Notification of Admission on April 1st, 2010 University of Central Florida(Burnett Honors College) - Accepted(Accepted - Rolling Admissions)
Green = Accepted Orange = Application Submitted Red = Application Not Submitted Yet
And for much later in the year when everyone makes decisions... Cyan = Enrolling
Also, since I am not shy about my information(although it is only slightly relevant)...
SAT Scores: Critical Reading - 710 Mathematics - 760 Writing - 660
SAT II Subject Tests Scores: Mathematics II - 790 Physics - 720
ACT Scores: Composite - 30 English/Writing - 30 Mathematics - 32 Reading - 28 Science - 29

| I know it's been quite a while since I posted, but hopefully I'll be back to posting more regularly.
I plan on majoring in some form of engineering, not a clue which one yet. So, I've just finished my round of early applications, just two schools:
MIT Georgia Tech
I plan to apply to: Carnegie Mellon Harvard Cornell
And among other schools on my list that I might apply to:
Cal Tech WPI Johns Hopkins
There are others too.
And following suit, testing scores:
SAT Scores: Critical Reading - 740 Mathematics - 780 Writing - 770
SAT II Subject Tests Scores: Mathematics I - 800 Mathematics II - 800 Physics - 780
ACT Scores: Composite - 34 English - 35 Mathematics - 34 Reading - 29 Science - 36 Combined English/Writing - 32
finally, I suggest that we switch enrolling from dark blue to blue or cyan because I find reading the dark blue to be difficult |

| MIT, Case Western or CMU will be your best choices for computer science and or Engineering with a programming background. Pittsburgh (CMU) is starting to become a hub for robotics and computer engineering. |

| if any of you have any questions about cmu, i'd be glad to answer them.
My GPA wasn't too impressive (~3.58) but I had lots of extracurriculars and high test scores... _________________ If you like HEAVY METAL, check out my band. Or my my other band.
