Depends on in-state versus out-of-state? What were the stats?

I am an international student. There won't be any chance right? They just emailed me and told me that I am waitlisted. SAD...

Uva- Waitlisted

Waitlists are really polite rejections since the odds of getting in are usually about 300 to 1. Also, for out-of-state and internationals especially, UVa is very, very difficult since they have to take 70% minimum in-state students. Without knowing your stats, I'd say your chances at the other schools are 50-50, perhaps better at Lehigh than at Michigan and Northwestern.

Sigh...

Even if Lehigh accepts me, I will still go to UIUC. Basically, I will do accoutancy as my major in U. I heard from someone who told me that UIUC has the best accounting programme in US?!

You will have a wonderful time at Illinois -- it's an exceptional university with Nobel Prize winners on the faculty -- Congratulations --
