Re: Dual majors?
Well, I know UVA allows this ... I happen to be interested in doing a dual major, too (well, actually a triple major), so I've looked up information about this and asked a bunch of questions to the different colleges I've visited. I've found that whether a particular university "allows" it all depends on who you ask -- a lot of people just don't know and for whatever reason they still feel compelled to answer ... however wrong they may be. I've found, too, that so long as you can take all the requirements you need for both majors, dual majoring shouldn't be a problem at all (though different colleges make different distinctions between dual and double majoring, which are mostly important if the majors are in different schools, e.g., Engineering and Arts and Sciences).
Like KenWittlief said, you may have to spend an extra year there. It depends. Personally, I'll be going in with more than a few AP/dual enrollment credits, which make selecting my schedule much easier. If you don't have any AP credit, it is likely you may have to either "load up" your schedule (take 18+ credit hours/semester), go to a summer session ... or stay an extra year. What you'll have to do, of coure, depends on the school and their particular requirements for their majors and what credit they accept.
