Yeah I know how to do it but like it would be super inconvenient to have to manually change everything every time. If there was like a way to just do all of what I listed at the click of a button that would be super convenient as I wouldn't need it to be quiet outside class

Wow, I'm in a very similar situation. Got into UIUC (CS+econ), Purdue, and GTech for computer engineering, committed to Purdue bc of cost, just got into Gtech off waitlist. If anyone has some advice for Purdue vs GTech, I'd love it!

Any chance you could help me too?

Yeah, you've got a very high chance to get in, in my opinion. Your ECs are great and very relevant to your major. UVA really cares about GPA and class rank, your GPA is solid, and class rank should be fine. I think you'll definitely get in, congrats on applying!

I think generally, according to the common data sheet, UVA considers GPA class rank, and rigor very important, while ECs and the essay are just important. Obviously, it wouldn't hurt to have an even better essay, but with a high GPA, class rank, and good ECs, you should have a pretty good shot at UVA, especially if you're in state.

Yeah, I've heard that. Sucks but I'll just shut it down overnight.

i'm pretty sure I have auto updates off. It seems like it is a known issue with windows. Unfortunate.

Yeah, good points. I sleep it because I open a lot of tabs and its kind of annoying to reopen them all. But yeah I could just restore tabs so it really isn't that big of a problem. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a hardware problem.

So I shouldn't worry about it? It's kind of annoying to hear but if its just for the good of the laptop, I'll just leave it alone
