<p>For the Moog Scholarship, how many finalists are usually chosen? I know that 4 get ful and probably 4 get half. Would there be more than 8 finalists chosen for Moog (bio and chem)?</p>
<p>Don’t post the same question in 6 places. While I was going to answer you, I will let you go and find out yourself since clearly you have boat loads of time on your hands to post the same thing over and over.</p>
<p>I posted it in the other couple of threads and i realized that the posts were from 2007 so I wanted to post it in more recent threads. Additionally, it only took me 5 minutes to post it so that doesn’t mean I have boat loads of time. I would appreciate if you could answer my question instead of bashing me. thanks</p>
<p>Do any current students know much about the Romance Languages and Literatures major? I am really interested in both that major and physics, but I do not know how feasible a double major would be.</p>
<p>nina - are you talking about the Special Major? If so, it’s probably only really doable if you’re coming in with a lot of AP credits and aren’t starting from scratch for all 3 languages. Note- it’s 42 credits, /after/ the basic intro sequences.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if you’re not talking about the special major, a physics-romance language double major would be fine. I know a few people doing just that.</p>
<p>@Johnson181,</p>
<p>I wasn’t aware there are two separate majors. Are you familiar with the differences between the two/ where I can read more? I only see one on the site. Thanks.</p>
<p>Special Major: [Special</a> Major in Romance Languages and Literatures | Romance Languages and Literatures](<a href=“http://rll.wustl.edu/RLLmajor]Special”>http://rll.wustl.edu/RLLmajor)
42 credits post intro sequences (and you cannot test out of 307 - you have to replace it with an elective).</p>
<p>Other degrees: [Overview</a> of Degree Programs | Romance Languages and Literatures](<a href=“http://rll.wustl.edu/degrees]Overview”>http://rll.wustl.edu/degrees)
Typically 30 credits post intro sequences (I believe?). I apologize for not being clear. I was not implying a “special major” vs “romance language” major. Rather, a “special major” vs “french” or “spanish.”</p>
<p>A physics major will run you around 40-50 credits, depending on what AP’s you come in with.</p>
<p>50+42 = 92. That may be doable (in 4 years) on paper. I’m an engineering student - I know nothing about artsci breadth requirements and how that would work, especially considering they’re revamping it for next year.</p>
<p>But you’ve got at least Writing 1, and probably at least 18 or so credits that your majors would not cover (ie SS classes). Plus you might not be able to take classes in the sequence you like. </p>
<p>And if you do have to take intro sequences of any of the 3 languages, you’re looking at well more than 130, 140 credits I’d imagine. I don’t know your AP background, so it might be possible for you, or it might not.</p>
<p>Either way, don’t stress it now! You have plenty of time to talk to an advisor once you get on campus. Just enjoy knowing where you’ll be next year :)</p>
<p>Thanks! Your answer was very helpful and I definitely won’t stress…at least not yet!</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>We represent Bear Buddies, a student-run group here at WashU that’s dedicated to welcome our incoming/prospective students and answer any questions that you may have about living here at WashU and in St. Louis. We’re focused on creating personal connections based on mutual interests between you and a current undergraduate student, so if you are interested, check out our SU website here to register for a Bear Buddy mentor! </p>
<p>[Bear</a> Buddies | Just another WordPress site](<a href=“http://su.wustl.edu/~bearbudd/]Bear”>http://su.wustl.edu/~bearbudd/)</p>
<p>We’re completely student-driven and organized, so all of your mentors are eager to answer your questions to the best of our abilities. We’re not affiliated with the Admissions Department, or any other university department. If you’d like to find out more about what it’s like to live as a student at WashU, sign up today!</p>

<p>My D did an overnight visit back in the fall and stayed on a “substance free” floor with her student host. The “substance free” idea appeals to her as she would rather play board games or cards with friends on a Friday night than go to a fraternity party. Just how “substance free” are these floors and how are these students viewed by the general student population? She’s not religious or prudish, just serious and kind of shy.</p>
<p>The sub-free floors are pretty much entirely sub-free. You might find a few students who drink or smoke some, but usually less often, and almost always not on the floor itself. Truthfully, many students tend to judge those on sub-free floors as being less social than those on regular floors. Although I’m sure you and your daughter are aware of this, I just want to make sure you don’t think you HAVE to be on a sub-free floor to find that environment - I’ve been happy on my regular floor even though I personally don’t drink/do drugs.</p>
<p>Thanks, RyanMK</p>
<p>If any of the current WashU students are still checking this thread, I would like to know more about the FOCUS programs available to freshman. For some reason I don’t see too much about them on the website. Thanks!</p>
<p>FOCUS and freshman seminar information usually comes out more towards may/june. given RD decisions haven’t even come out yet, that’s probably why you haven’t found much and why i wouldn’t really worry about it for another few months. they’ll mail you a catalogue with all the options then. with that said, they are great classes to take and i highly recommend them. I recommend Law & Society (Prof Stillman is awesome), and I know a lot of people who like the Cuba and Argentina classes. Basically, I don’t think you can go wrong with a FOCUS and it’s nice that they’re small and all freshman - it helps you get to know the professor, other students, and take a class with a lot of participation as opposed to just another lecture.</p>
<p>Congratulations! On behalf of the Admissions Committee and the faculty of Washington University, I am delighted to offer you admission to the Olin Business School and the College of Arts & Sciences Class of 2016.</p>
<p>This is what my decision notification says. It seems that all of the guys I know are accepted into one school, but I am admitted to two of them (I put a second choice down but didn’t apply to any speical program), is my case rare or it is actually pretty common?</p>
<p>Don’t know how common it is, but one nice thing about Wash U is that its extremely easy to shift between the different schools. Pretty sure its just one sheet of paper to fill out.</p>
<p>Did you check that you would potentially be interested in a dual degree program? That involves being admitted to both schools right off the bat, though you can of course change it later (WashU is pretty awesome about that).</p>
<p>Thank you for the quick reply! I really don’t remember. Is there a question on the supplement asking about this? </p>
<p>So it seems like I can pursue two degrees at the same time without applying later, right? I know a lot of people do double major or a minor, but are there many doing dual degrees? Is it doable within 4 years? (I want to double major in a science and in managment). Does Wash U have lots of distributional requirements besides the writing 1?</p>
<p>It’s on the pre-application you submitted probably sometime in the fall.</p>
<p>Yes, that’s essentially what the dual degree program is. So, if you went the route you’re thinking of, you would get a B.A. in your science from ArtSci and a B.A in management from Olin. As far as I know, it’s generally accepted that a dual degree takes 5 years because you have to complete all requirements for both schools, and it’s very very hard to finish it in any shorter amount of time. I know someone who is currently pursuing a science degree from ArtSci and then a second degree in Art or Architecture (she has no idea yet), but she seems happy with it so far, and is accepting of the fact that she’ll be here for another year.</p>
<p>Also, they’re changing the curriculum and distribution requirements for ArtSci next year, so I can’t really say much about them right now. Here are the current distribution requirements if you’d like to read up on those:</p>

<p>Aside from an AP English exam, can’t you also get credit for Writing 1 if you have a 740 or higher on the writing section of the SAT?</p>
