>What university you went to for undergrad
Pic related
>What major
Electrical engineering
>Other offers you got
Only applied to this and then Stanford and Northwestern but a teacher forgot to upload LoR, don't think I had a chance anyways.
>How you did in high school
I was the smart but lazy meme through high school and it was not a good idea. Spent most class periods just texting/playing shitty phone games. Turned in homework in a few weeks late at best, but just aced tests and essays/projects or whatever the big points in the class were. Took most APs offered (11/14), because they were weighted as 5.0 for GPA instead of 4.0 and were still easy to sleep through. Did not take the english AP senior year as english was always my worse class due to being absolutely shit at public speaking and basically taking a C, D, or F on every speech/presentation. Also it was the AP Lit class and I have read maybe two chapter books to this day and felt I might actually have to read books to get a good grade. I did alright for myself still, but always regret those years to this day as I believe I could have done much more and get full ride scholarships instead of just full tuition to places if I spent my time better. Only main extracurricular was varsity football from sophomore year through senior year, but my shitty work ethic permeated throughout my entire life at the time and I spent little time in offseason training and wasn't really motivated to play in college and was content just being starter for the three years in HS.. Took only 3 actual AP tests as I didn't want to be assed to do them, 1 SAT and 2 ACT attempts "crammed" the night before. My stats were:
GPA: 4.4/4.0 (max, but no valedictorian)
ACT: 36 reading, 30 math (lol), 35 science, 33 english, second attempt got lower score for science but higher for math so evened out.
SAT: 2000? had a migraine and tried my best
CSAP: 3, WHAP: 5, USAP: 5, studied for CSAP and it did not help so did not bother for the other tests.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Electrical Engineering

idk I think it is like mid tier or lower? not that great but better than nothing

Junior this year, plan on electromagnetics+RF, might be interested in analog circuit design or photonics if I like the classes. Applying for top MS programs next year and if I like it might try for PhD afterwards.
