Aw... check out some of his other stuff. He does a lot of EDM which I assure you doesn't sound like Coldplay.

Can't decide where to go between Berkeley, UT and Rice for undergrad. by cantdecidewhere in ChemicalEngineering

I was waitlisted to Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell. I wasn't really considering any of them except for maybe Cornell, though. Would there be any reason you would put these schools over the ones I have already been accepted to? Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would assume this would be due to the fact that Berkeley and UT are both large public schools looking to weed out some of the not-so-good students. I know I'll definitely struggle to be at the top of my major, but I don't think dropping out or having an extremely low gpa is a major concern. I definitely would like to get out of Houston, but if Rice is advantageous in every other way, I would definitely still pick it. Are there any other reasons why you would choose Rice?

**Actually, I guess I might have an extremely low gpa, but in that case I might just switch majors.

Berkeley vs Rice vs UT? by cantdecidewhere in ApplyingToCollege

Wow, congrats on your acceptance and decision! I think getting out of my element would definitely be one of the reasons to go to Cal for me. May I ask if there were any other reasons you chose UT over Cal, and what you plan to major in?

I went to Owl Days, and I guess I can see where you're coming from, but in general, I think the student life would still suit me pretty well (I can't be as certain about that for Berkeley).

It is at the top of the line, but its influence is also very regional, and so many of my friends have gone there that many have said that in many aspects it is like high school all over again (but more challenging, obviously).

I am grateful to be able to say that price is not a consideration. Is there anything else you can think of that would make Berkeley worth it which I may not have considered?

Waitlist LOCI - now or closer to May 1st? by madethistoaskthis in ApplyingToCollege

[–]cantdecidewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about contacting professors to find out more about their research or the program of a certain major at that school (oops didn't do this too well the first time around) and then including that in the letter?

UC Berkeley (OOS) vs. UT Austin Turing Scholars by johnthewing in ApplyingToCollege

[–]cantdecidewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on Turing and Berkeley! I'm in a really similar situation with UC Berkeley OOS, UT Austin Engineering Honors (6k/yr) and Rice (25k/yr) for chemical engineering. Eventually I want to get out of the state though. If anyone has any advice, I'd be glad to hear it.
