<p>I should also mention that I applied to their Hindi-Urdu flagship program, which allows you to Study Hindi and Urdu alongside your major. I have an interview with the program directors this friday, and so because I wanted the UT admissions office to know I applied to the program, I had my spanish teacher write me a letter of recommendation. With that in mind, do you think I have a shot?</p>
<p>It's really frustrating, because I REALLY want to study hindi, but unfortunately my rank isn't so good. This is the only university that offers it in my state, and I'm not wanting to apply out of state because I don't think I would get much financial help (my parents don't want to pay OOS tuition). I've already gotten into A&M liberal arts, and KU, but I'm not super thrilled about either of those. :(</p>
