<p>Other Factors:</p>
<p>I'm applying for UND and it seems like I'm probably going to be one of the few international Indian students applying. Think they'll consider that as a hook? My SAT score is pretty alright (2010), ECs and school recommendations and grades are brilliant, and my essay is pretty catchy. Not applying for any kind of financial aid.</p>
<p>Amadeuic- "* Possible Majors: Classics, Biology, Physics." How can all of those be on the table? Isn't Classics in the College of Arts & Letters and the other two in College of Sciences? Which one did you get into?</p>

<p>Ok, so with the ND Scholars thing how much will that get me? i'm guessing more grants than loans bc of the whole no schollies thing but is it a very significant increase in aid or....?</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone that got in. haha for the "why do you want to go to ND" essay I kind of wanted to just write "duh" and send it in.</p>
<p>p.s. I'm gonna try to dbl. major in Mech. Eng. and French</p>
<p>^How do you do that? Can you take classes across colleges? For instance, I'm in College of Sciences, but can I take German in Arts and Letters or whatever? I REALLY need to do a bit more research.</p>
