I actually got accepted to the College of Engineering at Cornell university and Carnegie Mellon University. Both were turned down for Rensselaer because I got 0 in aid from cornell and CMU and a $33,000 scholarship from Rensselaer. Nice try.

<p>I can’t believe you even bothered to justify yourself to that post. :P</p>

<p>Also, just my two cents. I attended a Yale admission info session today (literally 7 hours ago), and they explicitly stated that they, along with other top tier institutions value your GPA more than the SAT scores. And that sucks for me, since I’m an extremely lazy student with a crappy GPA who happened to score extremely well on the SAT.</p>
