• Schools you were rejected from? LA is my first rejection
• Schools you are waiting for? Berkeley

General Comments:
I saw this coming, Engineering is incredibly competitive, especially Computer Science.

• 被拒，估计是学校认为这孩子可能上别的更好的学校，他们会被孩子拒，于是先下手为强 -Duckegg- ♂ (0 bytes) () 03/21/2015 postreply 13:00:49

• 我女儿不是工程专业，但学校有其他人是。 -沙城- ♀ (0 bytes) () 03/21/2015 postreply 15:08:42

• 不太可能，照这理由岂不是成绩更好的都要被据了？ -touji- ♂ (88 bytes) () 03/21/2015 postreply 19:44:46
