<p>Hahaha well I guess it must have happened sometime between 20 years ago and now (though it couldn't have happened recently-its definitely been at least 5-10 years). Probably occured around the time F was reinstated as a grade...</p>
<p>There is an unadvertised cap on OOS at UI. They talked about going from 10% to 15 or 20% and the state freaked on them. 10% is it.</p>
<p>oh niceeeee. this is sad. less chances for me then.</p>
<p>anyway, in which uni is in possible to double degree, say in chemE and economics?</p>
<p>You could at Stanford though honestly the ChemE core is so large (I think its the largest of any major here) that I don;t know anyone who's done it. I do know a person (actually 2) who are both premed and chemE but that's as intense as I've heard of (and that's intense)</p>
<p>hmm thank you superwizrd! i'll take that into consideration</p>
<p>hey I just called up the UMN admissions office and they told me that the fee for the current year is 31124 and may go up another 5% for Fall 2009 (inclusive of living expenses). Is this cheaper than other schools? Compared to UCB?</p>
<p>^ Is that the "fee" or total cost of attendance (COA)? I think it must be the latter because their website shows total tuition and fees for non-residents of $14,806 plus $7,280 room & board, or roughly $22,000.</p>
<p>Costs</a> and Aid </p>
<p>Either way, it's quite a lot cheaper than UC Berkeley. They show a COA of $47,193 for non-residents ($26,586 for California residents, plus "add $20,607 for non-resident tuition"). That's not all university fees---it includes about $3,000 for books & supplies, personal expenses, and transportation. But just the university fees--non-resident tuition, student fees, and on-campus room and board---come to about $44,000. Essentially the non-resident sticker price at Berkeley is comparable to that of top private schools.</p>
<p>petepete28,</p>
<p>My friend at Northwestern did ChemE/Econ in 4 years. It's true that ChemE curriculum tends give less room for others but the quarter system at Northwestern helps (the students there take 12 courses a year, more than usual; you'd also get 1 more chance to take any particular course you miss since there are 3 terms instead of just 2; Stanford also operates in that system so that should help). He was offered an analyst position from Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, which is where he came from, and he took it. :)</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>I'm busy with Questbridge now though. It's super long!</p>
