<p>i think ur in :)</p>

3

<p>nope… make your major undecare then you are in. neurobio is impacted with an 8304 cutoff</p>

4

<p>hey zman, do you know the cutoff for bioengineering: biotech?</p>

5

<p>Zman, they place into the university first and then into the major. So basically he/she doesn’t have to change anything, because if they don’t have high enough points for the major they will essentially be placed undeclared anyways</p>

6

<p>oh… just kidding, and to brownman… no i do not… but a guess proabaly high well atleast higer than the reg. cutoff cause its impacted right?</p>

7

<p>What? They place you into your major first, not the university.
That’s why you MUST apply to impacted majors as your first choice, if you put them as your second choice, they will not be considered. </p>

<p>If you don’t get into your major, and they see you as a good candidate, then they may or may not accept you to the university.</p>

8

<p>Um, no, they accept you into the uni first, then the major. I’ve confirmed this. Call admissions tomorrow if you don’t believe me.</p>

9

<p>Agreed ^
And you’re probably in.</p>
