~!~About the School of Engineering~!~

<p>Alright, so I was planning on applying ED to CAS, but I've kinda gotten myself into a perplexing problem.</p>

<p>I wanted to go to CAS to pursue PPE, Political Science, or Psychology; After that I'd go to law school (and hope to become a judge/senator/UN member etc)</p>

<p>However, my Mom kinda got it into my head that there are TOO MANY PEOPLE with humanitarian degrees such as Poli Sci, Psych, Economics, etc and that there really isn't any room to move. That is a valid point, I guess.</p>

<p>She told me how her degree in chemical engineering got her everywhere, and it's one of the first things that people notice when they see her resume (she works in the financial sector now).</p>

<p>So I was kind of thinking maybe I should also go into Engineering; after all, it does build analytic skills for law, and the field is desirable (plus I love chemistry).</p>

<p>So this led me to a few questions:
1) Is SEA's admissions rate higher than CAS's?
2) Do they expect you to take a Math SAT II (I already took Chem, 750)
3) Is it possible to for instance get into CAS, but complete enough classes in engineering to get a double degree in a CAS major, and a SEA major (without doing Valegos)?</p>

<p>I know that was long, but I'll appreciate all comments, thanks!</p>

<ol>
<li>It's higher but I think their SAT scores might be higher and SEAS students on average are smarter.</li>
<li>I'm only 99% sure, but I think they want the Math IIC exam (check the website)</li>
<li>It is possible to dual between SEAS and SAS. Vagelos doesn't allow you to double between SEAS and SAS. In fact, it practically prohibits it.</li>
</ol>

<p>If you're not sure about getting an engineering degree you'll porbably switch out of it anyway. There is too much work involved to stick with it if you don't enjoy it.</p>

<p>Only go into engineering if you're sure it's what you want to do - I know a lot of kids who applied for sort of the same reason you have, only to switch out after first semester. The good news is that transfering from SEAS->SAS is an easy process, you essentially just need have a 3.0 gpa</p>

<p>Hmm, is the converse process simple too, or on?
Like Going from SAS -> SEAS?
I was thinking of getting rid of my math and science cores in Freshmen year if I got in, so maybe if I liked the math and science, I could transfer into SEAS.</p>

<p>GPA requirement should still be around a 3.0 but they might want you to take a year of math and a year of physics so you're still on track.</p>

<p>^
Because it means they have tougher restrictions. Though I favor CAS already because I'm more into Huntsman/PPE, I've been thinking over Engineering and personally I would need to take a math class or so to even be considered for it.</p>
