Why would they notify you by e-mail? Hope it's not someone screwing with you.

I know, I never insinuated that. IMHO, college is college (although I will be transferring to Florida State next year to complete my bachelors in Information studies). Anyway, congrats.

Ah... It's amazing how much things have changed in just the 5 years since I applied to college. :)

Electrical Engineering.

I'll be taking Chinese also (I will have four years when I graduate HS)

Probably take classes in MechE, maybe a minor.

damn. I was going through their course booklet and I want to take nearly every course offered . . . .

I well have many AP tests done going in (physics, calc, chem, history, english) so maybe I can have the time to take the classes I want to.

Man, I can't wait.



The email thing kinda surprised me, too. I was checking for a diff email when I saw it, and then, well, I opened it and checked it out. Awesome.

Agreed. I guess the slackers don't have to spend $12 to send the application the last day via FedEx next day. They can just do it over the internet. Actually, back in 1998, UT Austin had their application online.
