  188. [4:12 PM] Tah Joseph Renaud Nemlin: @CounselorNatalie  please I wish that you informe me about process
  189. [4:12 PM] Student Mallory: @SofiaCernaGuest Awesome! So you would be in the college of arts and sciences and there are a few different ways you can pursue honors.  If you enter the honors program as a freshmen (invitations are sent out with acceptance letters), you will have the choice to take smaller (20 persons or so) honors seminars, which fulfill graduation requirements. If you complete 8 of those courses you can graduate with honors without writing a thesis.  Your other option is to write a thesis (I am writing mine now and love it).  If you are in the honors college you can write a general thesis your senior year, otherwise you apply to write your thesis through your major.  ... As far as capstone courses go, your capstone courses (also called senior seminars) are usually a final requirement for your major.  If you write a thesis through your department then you will take a specific senior thesis capstone course with the other students in the department.  Does that help?  Sorry its a lot of information but really the honors program is fantastic.

  208. [4:13 PM] Nicholas Curl: @StudentGrace what is student life like?
  209. [4:13 PM] Student Grace: @VictoriaGugliettaGuest Hi Victoria! An advertising major would be under the college of media, communication and design. It is a great program! If you would like some more information , here is the link to their website!
  210. [4:13 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: @CounselorZeni I know Boulder is solid! Just thought I might get a better hint!
  211. [4:13 PM] Jackson Helmerich: @CounselorLindsay  What is the benefit of applying with early action instead of the regular deadline?
  212. [4:13 PM] Sofia Cerna: @StudentMallory Yes, that helps! Thank you! :)
  213. [4:14 PM] Charles Mahla: Is Entrepreneurial studies a minor at CU Boulder?
  214. [4:14 PM] Counselor Natalie: @ClarkHouGuest , sometimes AP transfer credit can help fulfill a college class requirement, but that decision is made by your academic advisor on campus. Take a look at the physics department website to get an idea of the curriculum: https://catalog.colorado.edu/undergraduate/colleges-schools/arts-sciences/programs-study/physics/phy...
  215. [4:14 PM] Student Jordan: @MollyMahoneyGuest There are a number of outdoors clubs, student groups, and residence halls that organize everything from short hikes to weekend trips! @ZacharyGennGuest @DiegoChiricoGuest it's phenomenal and a number of students do go out to the mountains regularly when they have some freetime in the winter!
  216. [4:14 PM] Emma Ziari: Is there a book club? I'm quite the book worm and would love to talk about the books I read with others. And if there isn't one, how hard is it to create a club at CU?
  217. [4:14 PM] Rebekah Barnett: Are there any opportunities for a student to receive a full scholarship?
  218. [4:14 PM] Counselor Zeni: @EmmaZiariGuest Yes, we typically will accept credits from Dual enrollment. Please be sure to have your official transcripts sent from the college.
  219. [4:14 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @DiegoChiricoGuest about 50% of our students enjoy skiing and snowboarding, so there's a lot to do in CO in the winter months. We have sunshine pretty much every day so you can choose how to spend your time outdoors..
  220. [4:14 PM] Tyler Lee: Do you take AP credits obtained in high school, and if so, what's the minimum score required in order to get the credit for that class?
  221. [4:14 PM] William Allen: Does Bruno Mars is gay?
  222. [4:14 PM] Counselor Felicia: @RyanAndrewPeironaGuest Hi Ryan, there are multiple things we look for in the application process. We do holistic review, so we look at everything you send us.

We do value AP and IB courses, as well as a commitment to being well-rounded and getting involved in various extracurriculars!

  226. [4:14 PM] Student Grace: http://www.colorado.edu/cmci/academics
  227. [4:14 PM] Nicholas Curl: @CounselorLindsay I am taking Multi-Variable Calculus currently, would this place me out of any courses?
  228. [4:14 PM] Tanner Erdem: @StudentJordan Do you know if those trips are financially covered or if we fundraise / pay for them ourselves?
  229. [4:14 PM] Counselor Natalie: @TahJosephRenaudNemlinGuest Welcome! You can find information on the application process for international students here:http://www.colorado.edu/admissions/international

  233. [4:15 PM] Nicholas Curl: @StudentMallory what is student life like?
  234. [4:15 PM] Alexandra Zerbe: thank you for that link.  If I went in undeclared and got hooked up with the pre-health advisory, they could assist me along the way and then I could make a better decision about a major.  I just don't want to ruin my chances for admission if I pick "undeclared."
  235. [4:15 PM] Rachel Eisenhauer: Do you allow undergraduates to double major? Would a double major in biology and business be possible?
  236. [4:15 PM] Tanner Erdem: @HunterHooverWatsonGuest California. Finding a place to board in Florida sounds tough
  237. [4:15 PM] Meagan Skolnick: Does it look bad to apply undecided?
  238. [4:15 PM] Student Mallory: http://www.colorado.edu/honors/admission#admitted_first_year_students-102 Here is the info about the Arts & Science honors college.  "There is no application process for our program. The Office of Admissions automatically evaluates and invites qualified first-year fall students who have been admitted into the College of Arts and Sciences. Generally, students in the top 10% of the incoming class receive an invitation. Invitations are issued in a student's printed admission packet"
  239. [4:15 PM] Olivia Testa: Do I apply to the university in general or do i have to apply to a specific school?
  240. [4:15 PM] Counselor Molly: @NathalieBenshmuelGuest That's definitely possible! The curriculum in Arts & Sciences is pretty flexible, so many of our students pursue multiple majors and minors. We don't have a photography minor, but you can focus on photography through a minor in art practices!

  245. [4:15 PM] Student Grace: @NicholasCurlGuest Hi Nicholas! There are so many things to get involved in on campus! We have over 400 clubs, so student life looks a little different for everyone. Is there anything specific you want to know about?
  246. [4:16 PM] Daniel Fiorillo: @CounselorFelicia Does Environmental Design include any Industrial Design courses?

  253. [4:16 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: @TannerErdemGuest We manage with boards on water
  254. [4:16 PM] Carlin Shannon: How competitive is the engineering school in general, and especially aerospace?
  255. [4:16 PM] Vanessa Flores: do you guys also have some type of dental class or radiology classes as well?
  256. [4:16 PM] Student Jordan: @TannerErdemGuest It depends on the club for the most part and the length of the trip as well as what equipment is needed. The Outdoors Program at the Student recreation center also offers very affordable gear rentals for everything from camping to kayaking!
  257. [4:16 PM] Michael John Wholihan: I am not able to visit from Boston, will that be a negative on my application?
  258. [4:16 PM] Counselor Zeni: @AlexandraZerbeGuest Choosing Open Option will not hurt your chances for admission. We have that major so you can have the time to explore and find the right major for you.
  259. [4:16 PM] Nicholas Curl: @CounselorBrad I am currently taking Multi-Variable Calculus this year, it is not an AP course, but would this place me out of any calculus courses?
  260. [4:16 PM] Alexis Rodia: If you apply RD do you consider 1st term grades of senior year?
  261. [4:16 PM] Lucas Shelton: Does your engineering department have its own scholarships?
  262. [4:16 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @AmarisBurrellGuest yes-you can transfer at any point and we will use both your high school and college work until you've completed one year of college.
  263. [4:16 PM] Nakul Singh: What would be the computer science related degrees you can offer ? Also what would the scholarship offers be?
  264. [4:16 PM] Lydia Lococo: I am interested in the college of arts and science and majoring in dance. I would like to know if dance is a popular major.
  265. [4:17 PM] Rebekah Barnett: What is the most highly competitive department or major?
  266. [4:17 PM] Tanner Erdem: @StudentJordan Good to hear, thanks for the response!
  267. [4:17 PM] Counselor Brad: @WilliamAllenGuest Students here have serious questions. If you believe your antics are funny, please look elsewhere.
  268. [4:17 PM] Counselor Molly: @NicholasCurlGuest Unless your multi-variable class is through a local college or university, most likely you will not get credit for it at CU Boulder
  269. [4:17 PM] Clark Hou: Hows the music department?
  270. [4:17 PM] Counselor Felicia: @MollyMahoneyGuest If you participate in a CU Boulder study abroad program and are a CU Boulder degree-seeking student, you may use any federal, state, or institutional aid you would normally be awarded, with the exception of work-study. We do not provide financial aid for study abroad programs not offered through the CU Boulder Study Abroad Office (i.e., those sponsored by other organizations, colleges, or educational institutions). Nor do we provide funding for direct enrollment in a foreign university, even if CU Boulder accepts your courses as transfer credits. There may, however, be alternate resources available to help you fund these programs.
  271. [4:17 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @AlexisRodiaGuest we will use the most recent academic work for admissions, so if those grades are available, yes!

  273. [4:17 PM] Student Mallory: @NicholasCurlGuest Hi!  Student life here at CU really is fantastic.  There are so many different choices for what you want to do, so you will never run out of options.  The university puts on movie nights and events on campus if you are interested in those, however, my favorite thing to do at CU is to go up skiing or climbing and really enjoying the perks of living in a place as amazing as Boulder!

  295. [4:18 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @DiegoChiricoGuest we provide the Eco Pass to all students, so Denver RTD is free. It's also a very walkable community, so getting around is pretty easy without a car (but any student can choose to purchase a campus permit).

  297. [4:18 PM] Counselor Molly: @LilyByrnesGuest We have Residential Academic Programs (RAPs) where students live with other students who have a similar academic interest to them! They are really cool programs, check them out on our housing website: https://living.colorado.edu/

  352. [4:21 PM] Student Mallory: @ClaireWernickGuest Every teacher I have ever met has been incredibly accommodating.  At CU you would most likely make an appointment with disability services and they provide you with a letter for you to give to your professors. http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/
  353. [4:21 PM] Atharv Dangore: I am applying to aerospace engineering. Does the freshman year have classes related to it?
  354. [4:22 PM] Student Jordan: @IsabellaBowlingGuest I am currently a double major with a certificate in the school of Arts and Sciences. As long as you work with your academic advisor the workload is very manageable, I am actually on track to graduate a semester early!
  355. [4:22 PM] Lily Byrnes: For students that are not in the state of Colorado, are there extra opportunities facilitated by the university to help make Colorado a home? Do out of states often feel homesick?

[4:22 PM] Counselor Zeni: @ClaireWernickGuest here is a link to the Disability Services office http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/ please feel free to reach out to them with any specific questions and they can you with the required documentation needed for college. Professors are helpful and have office hours, you must self advocate to take advantage of the opportunities.
  357. [4:22 PM] Lucas Shelton: @MeganGoldammerGuest I would think that would round up to a 4.0. However if say it was like a 3.86 it wouldnt round but considering how close it is I would believe so.

  388. [4:23 PM] Emma Ziari: @SydneyConradGuest I feel you! but that's totally awesome! I am just volunteering in Nicaragua for a semester. I don't want the counselors and students to get overwhelmed with questions so I looked on the website. You can defer up to a year if you email apply@colorado.edu after you get accepted. Glad we are in the same boat:)

  408. [4:25 PM] Emma Olson: What is the process like for double majoring?
  409. [4:25 PM] Rebekah Barnett: Do you include grades from 9th grade when calculating the GPA? I know that some colleges only require grades from 10th grade and up.

  414. [4:25 PM] Student Grace: @KaitlandschaperGuest Hi Kaitland! Time management is defiantly important in college! As someone who has a job, is a part of two student organizations, and takes their studies seriously I can defiantly attest to that! I think it is important to keep up with your school work, while starting assignments ahead of time. That being said, you have a lot more free time in college! Although the course tends to be more difficult, you are only in class for 15 hours a week (students may take 12-19 credit hours. Let me know if you have any other questions
  415. [4:25 PM] Counselor Brad: @ClaireWernickGuest You'll want to visit: http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/students. There they outline resources available. I recommend discussing with them your current situation, as the advocacy and requirement are different from high school and college.

  425. [4:26 PM] Jorge: On the website it says the middle 50% highschool GPA for admitted students in the college of engineering is a 3.7 to 4.0.  Is that on the 4.0 scale or is that a weighted GPA?
  426. [4:26 PM] Tabitha Ladendorf: @CounselorMolly How do I set up an interview with admissions?
  427. [4:26 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @BenjaminSchildkrautGuest2 that is a good question, and I am not sure! Let me get you their contact information and I would reach out to them specifically to get more details: http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/academics (at the bottowm)
  428. [4:26 PM] Sofia Cerna: Is it difficult to enroll in the classes you want? Do they fill up fast?
  429. [4:26 PM] Counselor Felicia: @mattbrockelmanGuest Hi Matt yes I remember you- hi! While you are more than welcome to double major, we do not offer an Agriculture degree at CU Boulder specifically.
  430. [4:26 PM] katie rodriguez: what major would recommend if I want to go into the peace corp
  431. [4:26 PM] Jenna Gevertz: Does applying with an Undecided major make it any less likely that you will get in?
  432. [4:26 PM] Lucas Shelton: @CounselorMolly Thank you but that page on the website does not tell me anything unless I apply for the scholarship which I believe I cannot do until I am accepted. Would any of those scholarships cover an out of state tuition?

  434. [4:26 PM] jacob agona: do AP credits from high school carry over?

  438. [4:27 PM] Counselor Brad: @ErinBiaforeGuest Hi Erin - One of the greatest advantages allows you to make a decision. Students applying by Early Decision will hear by February 1, whereas student's applying for the Regular Decision deadline may not hear until April 1.

  446. [4:27 PM] Student Grace: @CharlesMahlaGuest I am a communication major with a minor in business. The business minor consists of 4 class. The first two are Marketing/Management and Accounting/Finance. The third class is where you pick a "track" or "emphasis", this is where I choose Entrepreneurial studies, the last class is like a senior seminar where you bring everything you learn together!
  447. [4:27 PM] Lucas Shelton: @katierodriguezGuest good question wondering that too
  448. [4:27 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @EmmaOlsonGuest You enter with one major, and when you get to campus and start to work with your Academic Advisor, you can add your additional majors/minors.
  449. [4:27 PM] Roxana Pezeshki: If you apply for a particular school and are below the average scores, will your essay come in to play or will you be automatically declined?
  450. [4:27 PM] Student Mallory: @SofiaCernaGuest Hi!I have been at CU for 3 years now and I have never had any issues getting the classes I want.  When you enroll for classes you will have an enrollment window (ex- 8AM on Thursday).  As long as you are on your computer at 8 am registering for classes you should be fine as they reserve a certain number of seats for each enrollment window.  Does that help?
  451. [4:27 PM] Yajnish: Hi 😄 How many students are there per engineering class?
  452. [4:28 PM] Counselor Zeni: @TabithaLadendorfGuest admission to CU Boulder is competitive, there isn't necessarily a least competitive program or easy to gain admission into. You should always apply to the program you are most interested in.

  468. [4:28 PM] Charles Mahla: @StudentGrace Awesome! Thanks so much!

  482. [4:29 PM] Max Kuhlman: See you in December! Sko Buffs!
  483. [4:29 PM] Daniel Fiorillo: @CounselorLindsay ID- Industrial Design
  484. [4:29 PM] Counselor Zeni: @JenWrileyGuest there are many majors- I would say the most popular is the one which interests you most- here is a link to find just the right one http://www.colorado.edu/academics/programs

  497. [4:30 PM] Emma Ziari: @SydneyConradGuest That sounds fun, but these guys know way more than I do... Anyway, as far as scholarships, it's different based on where you are looking I think. FAFSA is by year and can never be deferred. In fact, even people who aren't deferring have to redo their FAFSA application every year just because scholarship money changes every year. As far as school specific goes, I think that you can defer enrollment up to a year but scholarships are things awarded before right you attend. Someone correct me if I am wrong! But I think that is how it goes...
  498. [4:30 PM] Tabitha Ladendorf: @CounselorRyan How do I set up an interview tih admissions?
  499. [4:30 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @AdjoaNyamekyeGuest You can see the Middle 50% for scores and grades here (http://www.colorado.edu/admissions/selection), but this is not a requirement. We conduct a holistic review of all applications.

  513. [4:31 PM] Student Mallory: @VanessaFloresGuest Hi! It really just depends on the course.  Typically they say that you will spend 3 hours on homework for each hour of class, however, I really only have that much work when it is exam time.

  518. [4:31 PM] Randyll Tarly: How are the girls?
  519. [4:31 PM] Adjoa Nyamekye: @CounselorLindsay Okay, thanks!
  520.

  544. [4:32 PM] Emma Ziari: @SydneyConradGuest Also, do you know how long you will be deferring for? If so, I might have some info that could help you as far as housing goes.

  581. [4:34 PM] Carlin Shannon: @CounselorRyan What type of financial aid is available for out-of-state? I live in California and cost is going to factor into my decisions, but I really like CU's aerospace engineering program
  582. [4:34 PM] Atharv Dangore: I am applying to aerospace engineering. Does the freshman year have classes related to it?
  583. [4:34 PM] Counselor Ryan: @AlexaFrummGuest it is very wallkable.  lots of students have bikes and skateboards, but walkinng is no problem
  584. [4:34 PM] Rebekah Barnett: @CounselorRyan are there any opportunities for a student to receive a full scholarship?
  585. [4:34 PM] Adjoa Nyamekye: How much does CU:Boulder give in terms of financial aid?
  586. [4:34 PM] Jordan Krieger: @StudentGrace thank you!
  587. [4:34 PM] Kimberly Roper: I do, @CounselorRyan, will they limit the number of comp sci entering freshman this next year? I heard from an advisor that the classes are very full and students are having trouble graduating in 4 years.
  588. [4:34 PM] Sophia Renner: @CounselorFelicia Is it easy to switch majors if I discover mine is not the perfect fit for me?
  589. [4:34 PM] Emma Olson: What is the process like for taking pre-business courses? I recently visited campus and an admissions counselor mentioned "pre" courses. What college would they be held at?
  590. [4:34 PM] Counselor Ryan: @RebekahBarnettGuest we do not offer any full academic scholarships.
  591. [4:35 PM] Randyll Tarly: @CounselorBrad I'm sorry Counselor Brad... I meant more like what is the gender ratio. I know at mines it is very low but I was just curious what it is for Boulder. I now realize that that was a poorly worded question
  592. [4:35 PM] Sonali C: Would you say CU has a strong environmental science program?
  593. [4:35 PM] Karley Crady: what type of scholarships are available for out of state students?
  594. [4:35 PM] Reality Mitchell: Ok great!
  595. [4:35 PM] Sofia Cerna: Can you declare more than 1 major during the application process? Or would that come later?
  596. [4:35 PM] Counselor Molly: @MaxKuhlmanGuest Not a petroleum program specifically, but check out our program in chemical engineering!http://www.colorado.edu/chbe/
  597. [4:35 PM] Benjamin Schildkraut: What is the best place to room during freshman year?
  598. [4:35 PM] Simon Jeacock: ^
  599. [4:35 PM] Rebekah Barnett: @CounselorRyan Thank you for answering my question.
  600. [4:35 PM] Alexa Frumm: @CounselorRyan thank you! What would the class size look like as a freshman?
  601. [4:35 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: @CounselorBrad is there a course all freshman are required to take or does it all depend on @WilliamAllenGuest
  602. [4:35 PM] Jess Smith: @CounselorRyan Hi, Ryan! What is considered a good GPA for getting into Boulder?
  603. [4:35 PM] Counselor Ryan: @KimberlyRoperGuest if a student is admissible, they will be admitted.
  604. [4:35 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @ClarkHouGuest do mean which department? Can you clarify your question for us?
  605. [4:35 PM] Elizabeth Vaughn: What type of SAT scores are you looking for?
  606. [4:35 PM] Counselor Felicia: @UnaStevicGuest you might want to pursue Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, or Biochemistry! I encourage you to reach out to @CounselorNatalie for help with international admissions!
  607. [4:35 PM] Brianna: what if you don't meet the criteria for getting into business school, but get into CU? what happens?
  608. [4:36 PM] Counselor Molly: @LucasSheltonGuest You can apply for those scholarships starting on October 1, as long as you have submitted your application to CU! Most scholarships are available to in state and out of state students, but wouldn't necessarily cover your full tuition costs
  609. [4:36 PM] Benjamin Hogan: What recommendations do you have for the application process? Would you recommend applying as early as possible? How do you look at applicants? If I am from out of state, what scholarships and financial aid am I eligible to recieve?
  610. [4:36 PM] Pallavi Kolli: @CounselorMolly What kind of pre-med programs do you offer for undergraduates ?
  611. [4:36 PM] Roxana Pezeshki: I second Brianna's question ^
  612. [4:36 PM] khrystopher John: how is the athletics?
  613. [4:36 PM] Jorge: On the website it says the middle 50% highschool GPA for admitted students in the college of engineering is a 3.7 to 4.0.  Is that on the 4.0 scale or is that a weighted GPA?
  614. [4:36 PM] Weston Tierney: What job prospects through the CU job placement service are there for a History major?
  615. [4:36 PM] Tanner Erdem: @BriannaGuest Not CU personnel, but I'm pretty sure they default you to the School of Arts and Sciences undecided @RoxanaPezeshkiGuest
  616. [4:36 PM] Clark Hou: Are there scholarships for international students? If yes, how do I apply? What are the requirements? How much scholarship can be given?
  617. [4:36 PM] Adjoa Nyamekye: I agree with Benja. I'd like to know too.
  618. [4:36 PM] Counselor Molly: @CharlesShambelanGuest We have an 18:1 student to faculty ratio and most of our undergraduate classes are taught by faculty members! Graduate students primarily act as teaching assistants

  622. [4:37 PM] Michael Lively: How difficult would it be to coordinate a double engineering major through your school?
  623. [4:37 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @BenjaminSchildkrautGuest2 that depends on a lot of factors! We have 24 halls, and all offer different features. You can choose a hall based on the room type you want, the residential academic program you want to take, or the location! You can learn more about the options here: https://living.colorado.edu/
  624. [4:37 PM] William Hunnius: @JorgeGuest I was wondering the same thing.
  625. [4:37 PM] Yajnish: How strong is the teacher-student interaction there? And does how the class size affects this?
  626. [4:37 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: No seriously though is there a course all freshmen take? @CounselorBrad
  627. [4:37 PM] Counselor Natalie: @ClarkHouGuest International applicants qualify for the same merit scholarships that out-of-state students do. You need to submit either a SAT or and ACT result as part of your application.
  628. [4:37 PM] Isabella Bowling: Where can I apply to the honors program?
  629. [4:37 PM] Counselor Brad: @NakulSinghGuest We have a Computer Science major in the College of Arts and Sciences and a Computer Science Major and Computer Science Engineering major in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, dependent on the time of computer science you are directly interested in

  634. [4:37 PM] Admin Jennifer: @WestonTierneyGuest When you start at CU Boulder we encourage students to meet with Career Services to start exploring what career options are available.  Lots of humanities students are sought after because of their ability to think critically and communicate clearly.
  635. [4:37 PM] FutureBuffs: @WilliamAllenGuest Students and counselors have requested that you take tonight's chat seriously multiple times. It seems that you are unwilling to adhere to these guidelines and requests. As the group admin, I am asking you to leave the chat room.
  636. [4:37 PM] Counselor Molly: @TabithaLadendorfGuest We don't offer interviews as part of our admissions process, but you are always welcome to contact us with any questions at admissions@colorado.edu or connect with us while we're on the road!http://www.colorado.edu/admissions/connect
  637. [4:37 PM] Counselor Ryan: @BenjaminHoganGuest we always recommend applying early.  for more info on scholarships, please take a look atthis site http://www.colorado.edu/scholarships/auto-consider/freshmen
  638. [4:37 PM] Roman Treuthart: Can you tell me more details about the CMCI preview event on October 20?
  639. [4:38 PM] Counselor Felicia: @SofiaOsunaGuest Yes, definitely. We do recommend applying first to the more selective school (so, if you plan to study Business or Engineering, apply there first). Then once you start at CU, you can add a second major!
  640. [4:38 PM] Rebekah Barnett: @CounselorRyan When calculating GPA, does CU Boulder include grades from 9th grade? I know that some schools only include from 10th grade and up.
  641. [4:38 PM] Counselor Brad: @HunterHooverWatsonGuest There is not one specific course, but many will begin in general education course predominantly comprised of freshman
  642. [4:38 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @BenjaminHoganGuest @AdjoaNyamekyeGuest , We do encourage students who are interested in CU Boulder to meet (or beat!) the Early action (non-binding) deadline of 11/15/17. We do this because earlier applications will receive an earlier status update, but we do consider all students for both deadlines (and in and out of state), equally.
  643. [4:38 PM] Clark Hou: @CounselorLindsay Physics department and music department? Right? If I want to double major in physics and music these are the departments?
  644. [4:38 PM] Matthew Lineberry: Does CU Boulder offer any study abroad programs for engineers?
  645. [4:38 PM] Counselor Ryan: @RebekahBarnettGuest yes.  all years are considered
  646. [4:38 PM] Kara Constantakos: Hello this is Kara Constantakos, Thank you for taking the time to chat with me. I was wondering what is the best way to apply to the CU Leeds school of bussiness?
  647. [4:38 PM] Sofia Osuna: @CounselorFelicia Thanks! That's very helpful.
  648. [4:39 PM] Admin Jennifer: @YajnishGuest There is as much faculty to student interaction as you would like to have.  All faculty have office hours for students to come by and talk with them.  Our class sizes also range from big to small, but a majority of our class are fewer than 50 students.
  649. [4:39 PM] Counselor Molly: @katierodriguezGuest Check out Leadership & Community Engagement! It's an awesome major in the College of Education that is a great fit for students interested in service and community-based careers http://www.colorado.edu/academics/programs/leadership-community-engagement
  650. [4:39 PM] Clark Hou: does this chat save online? Can we come back to look at this chat after it's over?
  651. [4:39 PM] Megan Goldammer: i have the same question as kara constantakos
  652. [4:39 PM] Counselor Brad: @RandyllTarlyGuest I did a quick search as well, but will need to look further. Please email me at brad.kloha@colorado.edu, so I can get you the correct information.
  653. [4:39 PM] Noah Glaser: Are there any undergraduate research opportunities?  If so,  are they limited to certain majors or programs?
  654. [4:39 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @ClarkHouGuest yes! You can double-major across colleges on campus. I would use the link from earlier for the College of Music to contact them about this plan, as they can work with you specifically when wanting to do two majors.
  655. [4:39 PM] Student Jordan: @MatthewLineberryGuest Yes! regardless of your major the Study Abroad Office can work with you to make sure that your schedule can accommodate going abroad and staying on track to graduate!
  656. [4:39 PM] Michael Lively: How difficult would it be to coordinate a double engineering major through your school? To expand on that, likely electrical engineering, and computer engineering/computer science
  657. [4:39 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: @CounselorBrad Oh thank you! What are some of the general education courses? I'm probably going applied science, but I don't want to miss out on other subjects.
  658. [4:39 PM] Charles Shambelan: @CounselorMolly Lastly, how do I start talking to an admissions officer if that is even a possibility?
  659. [4:39 PM] Tanner Erdem: Assuming an applicant falls below the 50% average for acceptance, what sorts of things can we display to make the admissions counselor more inclined to request 1st Semester Senior grades?
  660. [4:39 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @ClarkHouGuest @FutureBuffs good question! Does this chat save online for future reference?
  661. [4:40 PM] William Hunnius: Do the engineering programs accept the AP Calculus AB exam or do I need to take the CU Boulder calculus based classes?
  662. [4:40 PM] Counselor Molly: @jacobagonaGuest Yes! You can see how they apply for credit at CU here: https://catalog.colorado.edu/undergraduate/admissions/credit-examination/#advancedplacementapcreditt...
  663. [4:40 PM] Randyll Tarly: @CounselorBrad Ah, that's okay. I will find out when I visit again. Again, thanks for your times, and I apologize for the poor choice of words.
  664. [4:40 PM] Nakul Singh: @CounselorBrad thanks! what about the scholarships offered?
  665. [4:40 PM] Matthew Lineberry: @StudentJordan Thank you.
  666. [4:40 PM] Yajnish: @AdminJennifer Yeah thanks
  667. [4:40 PM] Tabitha Ladendorf: If I apply to CU before my first semester grades are finished, how do I submit them after?
  668. [4:41 PM] Admin Jennifer: @WilliamHunniusGuest You can get credit for AP Calculus but it will not count towards a degree requirement, so yes, you'll need to take the CU Boulder calculus class.
  669. [4:41 PM] Maria Rangel: Hey
  670. [4:41 PM] Benjamin Schildkraut: is there a difference between applying now or a week before the EA deadline?
  671. [4:41 PM] Hunter Hoover-Watson: @CounselorBrad How does Boulder assign advisors? And do they stay with you all four/five years?
  672. [4:41 PM] Diego Chirico: Does boulder provide any 4 plus one masters programs for business?
  673. [4:41 PM] Counselor Brad: @HunterHooverWatsonGuest Classes range from science, math, humanities, and arts. Since you are interested in science, you may want to look here for details on the core curriculum http://www.colorado.edu/artsandsciences/student-resources/core-curriculum
  674. [4:41 PM] Sofia Cerna: Can you declare more than 1 major during the application process? Or would that come later?

  676. [4:41 PM] Gabrielle Neufeld: What are the requirements for admission to the education school?

  684. [4:42 PM] William Hunnius: @AdminJennifer Thank you!
  685. [4:42 PM] Student Jordan: @WilliamHunniusGuest If you receive a 4 or 5 on the AB or BC exams your AP credit will be accepted
  686. [4:42 PM] Tanner Erdem: Asking again because it was missed: Assuming an applicant falls below the 50% average for acceptance, what sorts of factors will make the admissions counselor more inclined to request 1st Semester Senior grades?
  687. [4:42 PM] Pallavi Kolli: @CounselorBrad Do you have a robotics major ? When you go in as a freshman with a undecided major , is it hard to change your major later on ?

  697. [4:43 PM] Counselor Brad: @BenjaminSchildkrautGuest2 There is not. However, to avoid any problems getting all of your information in (all materials must be received before the Early Action deadline to be considered), you'll want to be certain to apply as soon as possible.

  700. [4:43 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @BenjaminHoganGuest that is entirely up to you! We are not going to use your visit as a factor in your admission decision, so come when it makes the most sense, and hopefully you'll join us for Admitted Student Day in April!

  712. [4:44 PM] Counselor Brad: @RomanTreuthartGuest The CMCI event will give you a much more in depth glimpse and information into that specific college. It will be much more robust than one of the general visit programs.

  723. [4:45 PM] Arzah Laing: Hello! How hands on would you say that the chemical engineering major is (or the engineering school in general)? Are there trips to industries that the class partakes in? How exactly are the students prepared for work in the real life.
  724. [4:45 PM] Counselor Brad: @AlexanderSklarzGuest If you are interested in a licensure in Secondary Education, you will need to major in that subject. Elementary Education is slightly different and is a degree of it's own.

  753. [4:46 PM] Yajnish: how many graduates come back to complete a master's degree?
  754. [4:46 PM] Student Mallory: @SophiaRennerGuest My favorite part about being at CU is honestly getting to live in Boulder.  It is an amazing college town and there are so many things to do both academically and outside of class.  I personally love skiing and climbing and Boulder is a great place to do that.
  755. [4:46 PM] Counselor Molly: @KarleyCradyGuest You can major in the area you'd like to teach and then pursue licensure through the College of Education! http://www.colorado.edu/education/academics/teacher-licensure

  806. [4:49 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @DanielFiorilloGuest the only reason you'd have more is if they were different languages (not the same).
  807. [4:49 PM] Counselor Brad: @DanielRuvinsGuest Our process is very holistic, so we encourage students to present their best application possible with all relevant information for the committee to make a decision.
  808. [4:49 PM] Tanner Erdem: asking again:Assuming an applicant falls below the 50% average for acceptance, what sorts of things can will make the admissions counselor more inclined to request 1st Semester Senior grades?

  822. [4:50 PM] Weston Tierney: But not above 3.5 or an SAT of above 1200?
  823. [4:50 PM] Sofia Cerna: Does CU Boulder have a pre-med advisory office that would help during my four years of college along with applying to medical school?
  824. [4:50 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @DanielRuvinsGuest we do not have a required score or grade to get into Leeds or CU Boulder since we practice a holistic admissions review, but you can see the Middle 50% of student admission here: http://www.colorado.edu/admissions/selection

  834. [4:51 PM] Madlynn Bard: What is the application process like for the honors college?
  835. [4:51 PM] Counselor Molly: @MatthewLineberryGuest We have 2 computer science majors in the College of Engineering & the College of arts & Sciences. Both are taught by the same faculty and are excellent, but the program in Arts & Sciences will require you to take a broader range of classes outside of your major than the program in Engineering

  867. [4:53 PM] Counselor Brad: @KayaRolandGuest Test scores, GPA, personal statements/essays, letters of recommendation, and anything else you submit all play a role in your admission decision.
  868. [4:53 PM] Arzah Laing: @CounselorRyan Thank you! If you had to take a guess what percentage of engineering students participate in Co-Op/Research work, and are international students eligible?

  880. [4:54 PM] Benjamin Hogan: One more question, what is the average SAT score from last year's admitted freshman?
  881. [4:54 PM] Counselor Brad: @AnthonyRicciGuest Since every student is different, it is important for us to view the whole student (grades, test scores, essays/personal statements). We want to know your story and the full picture of what makes you, you.
  882. [4:54 PM] Counselor Felicia: @JackMesslerGuest The Leeds School of Business will give you in-depth practical experience in business, as well as internship opportunities, that pertain much more to a career in business than what you would get if you were in the College of Arts and Sciences.

  891. [4:54 PM] Isabella Bowling: Thank you!
  892. [4:54 PM] Counselor Molly: @MichaelLivelyGuest As long as you work with your academic advisors, it would definitely be possible to double major within engineering. Adding a second major outside of engineering would be more difficult, but still possible!

  924. [4:56 PM] Alexis Lee: What makes a student stand out from the rest of the applicants?
  925. [4:56 PM] Counselor Ryan: @KaraConstantakosGuest there is nothing special about the business app that would be different from other colleges,  Submit your transcripts, test scores, etc. and try to get it in earlier than later.  besides that, be yourself and let us know why CU is a good fit
  926. [4:57 PM] Counselor Lindsay: @AlexaFrummGuest we review applicants based on the major and college to which they are applying, so we provide the Middle 50% of each college to see how some are typically more competitive for admission than others: http://www.colorado.edu/admissions/selection.

  953. [4:58 PM] Student Mallory: @ClarkHouGuest If you want to declare a language as a major or a minor it is totally up to you!  Not all languages have majors and minors, it really depends.  I am getting an Arabic minor but that program just started this fall.  ... As far as difficultly, it really just depends on the professor.  I found that all of my classes have been challenging in a way that helps me learn the language but not challenged to get a good grade in if that makes sense.

  975. [4:59 PM] Counselor Zeni: @MaddieWoodmanGuest No Problem, thank you for the good questions
