Plans

I am planning to come back to the United States after my exchange program for my undergraduate studies. I want to major in Computer Science and have applied to 20 colleges including 5 IVY League colleges and have been accepted to University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania State University, Virginia Tech University, Duquesne University and DePaul University. I have not committed to a college yet as I am waiting for answers from all the colleges I applied to. My dream college is CMU. Answer awaited
