<p>I’d tell you where I did apply to, but that would only hurt the fun.</p>

2

<p>oh come on somebody show me how good you are</p>

3

<p>So out of the what? 3000 (?) colleges we are supposed to guess where you got into without any knowledge of anything?</p>

4

<p>i nominate this for Lamest Thread Ever</p>

5

<p>^^^ seconded</p>

6

<p>Give us a region of the country…or something.</p>

7

<p>I did not spend the time to read your stats, but my guess is that you had a bad day and are trying to get people to praise you for … I said I didn’t read it.</p>

<p>Praise thread. Next please.</p>

8

<p>^Third that!</p>

9

<p>giving us your list of schools you applied to is necessary, if you don’t, just expect no one to give a constructive response to this thread</p>

10

<p>There are many places you could have gone to. Give us a region of the country at least.</p>

<p>I mean, given the people that I know, it sounds like any of the schools in the Big XII - perhaps Iowa State, due to the well recognized engineering school. But really could be any school in that conference, or the SEC, or most of the schools in the Big 10+1, or most of the schools in the ACC…</p>

<p>But seriously, you sound like about 75% of the guys from small towns (particularly those with such small graduating classes) that I met during my undergrad years at the University of Nebraska.</p>

11

<p>lol you were in a class of 17! How many people were in your entire school?</p>

12

<p>community college?</p>

13

<p>Texas A&M.</p>
