<p>CoffeeAdict9716, I also got into Carnegie Mellon and Rice in the US and Imperial College in the UK. Imperial is very well known in my part of the world and considered extremely prestigious perhaps on par with the lower ivies (though No where near as selective, Not Even Close infact) but I find the UK education system too riigid (i dont even know what type of engineering I want to do) and the lack of a typical college experience and campus at Imperial discouraging. I dont want to be just another face in the middle of London. Read my thread in the international section to get what im trying to say.
