I agree with MD if you wanted enroute them you should of went to one of those other schools... YOU had a choice whether or not to accept the enroute offer and you did full knowing that you had not received, what you call extensive enroute classwork, at UND but still took the offer. If you didn't like UNDs enroute than you should of taken a terminal offer instead!!!
