I was accepted but I have not decided on a school yet (CU-Boulder is one of my top choices, though). I won't be deciding for a while. I still have two schools (the big ones) that I am waiting on.

MY STATS:

GPA: 3.615
ACT: 26 (E: 29, R: 28, M: 26, S: 21)
SAT: Did not submit.
ECs: TONS (concentration in theatre, art, foreign language activities, summer programs, leadership in three core areas [yearbook co-editor, vp of french club 2 years in a row, historian of thespian society, etc.)

Anyone have comparisons between U. of Arizona, Colorado at Boulder and Colorado State?
Thanks!

CU Boulder is first - no doubt.
CSU vs U of A is tough, but im pretty sure it'd be CSU.

Based on what? It seems U. of A. has the lesser of reputation of the three according to the previous posts. Since they are all 3 state universities, I would like to know more about the basis. Now I am wondering if the tuition waiver at U. of A. still makes not looking at other schools worth it.

I was accepted as en econ major a few weeks ago. For a while I was really set on going to CU(look at my name lol), but now I've decided that I'd rather go to CSU. It seems like a better fit for me overall. Btw, how do I go about changing my cc name?

Oh and my stats:

3.7 UW GPA
31 ACT
Decent ECs, mostly sports stuff
instate

Congrats to all of you on being admitted.

My daughter was looking at both of these schools. She was accepted to CSU with a nice out of state scholarship. She's decided not to apply for CU after all. What's making you lean toward CSU now? You are probably more familiar with both schools.

Kinda way late, but I decided that I like the town of Fort Collins better than Boulder, and the overall campus atmosphere seems more my speed at CSU. Also, my best friend and I decided that we want to go to the same college, and his stats aren't quite up to par for CU. We're not rooming together, but we have both been accepted into the same dorm.
