Actually I applied to 6 colleges and got in only Illinois Urbana-C and Gatech so far. I am sad and I don't know if I will get into UMich Ann-Arbor. I want to do Computer Science so I guess I have nothing to worry about but a part of me is artistic and creative and feels it will get suppressed at an overly tech college. Michigan is good at so many things.

I'm scared I won't get in there…

Dont' worry so much about it, even if you don't get into Michigan it isn't the end of the world, no college will stifle your creative or artistic side, and it might actually give you an edge in one of the really tech places, as it will enable you to do things in ways not many others will, the little artistic flair may be what puts your projects above others in the grading curve, so relax, you'll be fine.

will i get accepted by Duke?

Are you kidding me? Your resume is beyond belief! You have a fairly good score on SATs, your GPA is awesome, unweighted and weighted, you can def. tell that you challenged yourself with all those AP classes and succeeded, you got credits for all the AP classes you've taken, you have sports and leadership positions in them, and debate. If I were you, I'd apply to better schools. Seriously, I've been looking at many colleges and talking to a lot of people, and any school would love to have you! How about aiming a little higher… Like Columbia, Brown, Cornell, etc?

i want to transfer schools for computer science to to get the hell out of new jersey. here are the colleges in gre guide's top 100 list of computer science schools. which ones are hard and which ones are easy to get into?

oUniversity of Texas – Austin
oUniversity of Illinois – Urbana – Champaign
oUniversity of Maryland
oGeorgia Tech
oUniversity of Arizona
oUniversity of Virginia
oOhio State University
oUniversity of Pittsburgh
oSyracuse University
oUniversity of Florida
oMichigan State University
oNorth Carolina State University
oArizona State University
oTexas A & M University – College Station
oUniversity of Kentucky
oVirginia Tech
oUniversity of Kansas
oUniversity of Alabama – Birmingham
oUniversity of South Carolina
oFlorida State University
oUniversity of Oklahoma
oUniversity of Missouri- Rolla
oOklahoma State University
oIowa State University

For Comp Sci look at Texas at Austin, Georgia Tech and Virginaia Tech if you can get in to those. Texas at Austin is a good one because of so many employers in the area. Although Id guess these are harder. Other than those, you may found those in southern states are easier to get into.

Also you may want to look into ones that have programs in hot fields like gaming, virtual worlds and genetics/bioinformatics.

Michigan State University or Rutgers University (New Brunswick).
Major- (Computer Science/Information Systems).

Consider everything.
