<p>You have a great chance to get in SU. Admission to SU is to a specific school and criteria vary depending on which school. Given your interest, it looks like you would be applying to Arts and Science (and you would be taking Maxwell School courses - but Maxwell is within A&S). Although it might be hard to get into this major, I’m sure you will get into this specific school. Make sure you visit and interview.</p>
