<p>Hi, I’m new to CC. I see all these people asking for their chances at certain schools, and I figured I’d do the same. At this point I’ve already applied, but I’d be nice to get some input from somebody other than my counselor. I’ve copied and pasted my resume below. I know its really long, sorry about that. You don’t have to read the whole thing, I’m just looking for a general idea. </p>
<pre><code>I’ve Applied to the school of engineering at:
The Catholic University of America
Rutgers (In-State)
Drexel
Virginia Tech (OOS)
UVA (OOS)
Lehigh
I’m particularly interested as to how you think I’ll fare at UVA, because that seems to be the most competitive applicant pool. Thanks in advance for your help.
