<p>that's fine we can not know the meaning of tradition and still dominate every dorm in every sport (which is exactly what we do i.e. 6-0 football, XC champs, 6-1 soccer, etc. etc.) because that's all I really care about anyways</p>
<p>I thought Seigfried won XC overall champsionship this year... I know Pangborn did! They just edged out my old home, Lyons, to take the interhall championship... My loyalties now are with my daughter. I'm pretty sure they haven't painted the interior hallways of Lyons since well before the early 1980's....</p>
<p>Where you are is where you love. That's the beauty of ND!</p>
<p>For those of you already at ND, is it possible to double major in say engineering (a program, from what I can tell, that is very structured) with a less structured major from the College of Science like Mathematics or Physics? If so, would this push me into 5 years?</p>
<p>Generally that will push you into 5 years. I am trying to do a dual degree in aerospace engineering and physics with a concentration in astrophysics. I will be averaging about 18 credits a semester for the rest of my time here and will be done in four years total. However, I came in with a lot of AP credit. I haven't met with the engineering people yet for approval, but the physics people seem to think it's doable. You would have a harder time with anything other than physics because the prereqs don't line up at all for mathematics and engineering.</p>
<p>What about double majoring in physics and mathematics. I'm wondering because this year I'm taking an Ohio State Intro to Engineering course at my high school and am finding out that engineering's not as math-centric as I had previously thought. At the same time, I'm taking calculus and finding out that I love it and don't really want to stop studying it.</p>
<p>Double majoring in physics and mathematics is very doable. One of my best friends here is doing it. However, he's nuts; he tested out of calc 3 and is planning on doing nothing but graduate level courses his senior year.</p>
<p>Well, is it necessary to be "nuts" in order to do so? I mean, I've been looking at the bulletin of information and such a combination seems possible, especially without a concentration in physics.</p>
<p>i didn't even know you could test out of calc 3? ap calc bc only get u out of 1 and 2</p>
<p>I didn't mean that he's nuts to be doing the double major. I meant he's nuts because he's going to finish the requirements for both by the end of junior year so he can spend his senior year doing nothing but graduate coursework.</p>
<p>how easy is it to double major in a science and a humanity, say bio and english? like will it be really hard to fit that into your schedule?</p>
<p>Most people here double major in something. Science and a humanity ought to be doable enough. I suppose it depends on the science and the humanity though. I know of someone who is doing biochem and Chinese at the same time. Perhaps she could grant some insight?</p>
<p>That would be awesome. Bio and English is what I would want to do, but if she has any insight that would be great. thanks!</p>
<p>"If Harvard should stumble and have to shut its doors, Yale or Princeton could, with time and effort, ramp up and credibly fill the gap. If the University of Michigan or Cal–Berkeley faced some catastrophe, Wisconsin or UCLA could hire their faculty, increase enrollment, and take over research projects without irremediable loss to higher education in America. But if Notre Dame should fail, no other institution could fully take its place."

<p>i have that quote in my AIM profile! :]</p>
<p>did you guys see that article on wisconsin discovering how to take stem cells from skin instead of fetuses? that's truly the value in a research university. so i guess if wisconsin fell, we'd still have a huge moral crisis.</p>
<p>23 days... I don't know if I can take it. I have like confidence swings almost daily. One day, I feel like there's no way I won't be in; the next day I feel like "wow, the applicant pool is probably too stacked this year." If only to end these strange lapses of confidence, I wish decisions were here now.</p>
<p>Do they not send the letters out until the middle of the month? I'm starting to get very excited here! Why can't they let us know now.
What's the earliest I can know?
thanks</p>
<p>well its usually around the 15th.</p>
<p>People closer to south bend get them earlier, and then a ripple effect occurrs</p>
<p>You're supposed to contact them if you don't receive a decision letter by December 19. I'm using that as my de facto judgement day for my personal countdown.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all those who were newly accepted.</p>
