<p>Lastly, I know that at ND everyone is put into a first year general courses type thing, so could I change my major from Chem E to a liberal arts major if i decided to? or do i have to stick to the same college that i applied to? thanks</p>

<p>I got in with lower stats than yours EA, you’ll get in. Its easier to go from science to liberal arts than the other way around, because although we are all in general courses if you are an engineering major you’ll take harder calc and science so it does kind of matter what major you declare. That being said, if you want to switch talk to your first year adviser and you definitely can. </p>

<p>A word of advice: Don’t waste too much time worrying, CC is pretty much BS. You’ll be fine in the end. (This coming from a current ND freshman)</p>

<p>if you’re right then the real issue will be convincing my parents the ND price tag is worth it haha</p>

<p>I would caution you to not assume it is worth it, lets just say that if I was paying the full 53K a year for it no way in hell would I be attending. Unless your family makes over 150k with zero debt, definitely fill in a FAFSA and CSS, its worth a try.</p>

<p>yeah dude with your ACT you should be fine. i just visited this weekend and spent the night; it is definitely worth the cash despite the price tag.</p>
