<p>You’ve already gotten comments on your stats on the other thread. At AU you are not applying to a specific school within the university, but to the university as a whole. On your application they ask you what your intended major is, but you can also put that you are undecided, which essentially puts you into the College of Arts and Sciences until you formally select a major. Your choice of major or college as indicated on your application has no bearing on the admissions decision.</p>

<p>^^ Thanks! and i actually put my intended major as Biochemistry in the other Thread and i didn’t know they take applications from SIS and CAS in the same process/acceptance.v</p>

<p>I don’t go to AU or anything but it seems that the only thing that isn’t stellar is your GPA. Besides that everything is excellent. If you do ED and get rejected I’d be surprised.</p>
