[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Thread is more appropriate for the Speakeasy. So moved.

M.I.T - Rejected (Good luck getting into here. Seriously. You better have cured AIDS while being a virtuouso at 3 different instruments if you want to make an impression on them.) Liked the idea of only Pass or Fail the first year, mostly because I'd like to explore other areas of science. Campus is smack in the middle of Cambridge though, and it doesnt really feel nice.
Cal Tech - Rejected (See above, except you must masturbate to math and/or science on a daily basis.) Similar to above, except for their oversummer research programs. Funded research as a student would be win. Horrible campus though, felt smaller than my High School. Also, only bachelor's degree offered is the one for science, and I'd like to know more people than that.
UCF (University of Central Florida) - Accepted (No surprise) Decent Uni near my house, I already get all my tuition paid for so would be a backup school. Way too many students. Also makes it feel like my 4 years of IB have been a waste.
UF (University of Florida) - Accepted (No surprise) Simlar to above, but majority of friends are going here. Decent school, although it sucks for the field I wanna go into, Computer Science. Huge student population is a turnoff.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Accepted (25k scholarship a year, woo.) Nice school in Troy, NY. Good program for Comp Sci and for Videogames.
Cornell - ??? (March 31st can't come sooner) Love the campus. Very nice overall feel to the community of the college. Great for Computer Science on the east coast. Only Ivy League to offer a minor in Game Design. Part of the Game Design Inititave, cooperation with big game companies, EA (ew) and others.
Stanford - ??? (See above) - Insane financial aid. Probably one of the best schools for Computer Science in the country. Near relatives. Beautiful campus.
Carnegie Mellon - ??? (Dont even know when I'm supposed to hear from them) - Computer Science mostly. Nice school, though the only one I didnt get to visit.
My list previously was
Stanford
Cornell
MIT
Carnegie Mellon
Cal Tech
UCF
RPI
UF
Mostly due to costs of some places, but now:
Stanford
Cornell
RPI
Carnegie
UCF
