<p>Too lazy to put everything else (or use the code, haha.) Also accepted to BC. I was full-throttle-ahead about BC, but now that I got into ND I'm starting to remember how much I loved the school when I went to visit... :) Congrats to everyone who got in!</p>

<p>Hook: Double legacy Hispanic whose Dad is currently an adjunct professor
ECs-Help teach little kids English while their parents attend ESL classes, attended Presidential Classroom for two summers in a row, NHS, president of Spanish Honors society, alot of other clubs and community service</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! I'm really leaning towards ND right now...I'm remembering how much I loved it when i visited. I can't stop whistling/singing the fight song, it's really starting to annoy some of my friends.</p>
<p>By the way, do you by any chance know the possibility of switching betwen Navy/Marine option scholarship? Because I have a Navy option scholarship right now, but I'm starting to realize I really want to go Marines (and I didn't even know about Marine option when I applied). </p>
<p>Yeah, I'm actually in the process of switching options right now. The Marine option program takes a lot more time and energy, but it is worth it. You will have to participate in the program for a semester before being allowed to switch, so that they know you can handle it.</p>
