<p>That’s pretty much it. I intend to major in Economics or Poli Sci or both.
I know my GPA is kind of low and my ECs aren’t spectacular. Would it be possible to get in without a visit? American is not at all close to my home and it would be hard to do a visit.</p>

<p>Advice for you, and for everyone else applying. If you can’t visit, find other ways to show interest. Admissions does online chats. Contact your admissions rep. Make it clear that you are truly interested in AU. For this school in particular, that is really important - they count interest very heavily.</p>
