acceptance rates for different colleges within university

Applying to College
1

<p>For Cornell Class of 2011, engineering: 30% a&s: 17%
(<a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm&lt;/a&gt;)
but I can't find any data for other schools</p>

<p>I understand that this does not necessarily mean that Cornell engineering is easier to get in, since the ones applying to engineering is generally more interested or qualified to its field. I still think 13% diff(almost twice) is pretty huge. Then, again back to Stanford, if the acceptance rates are same, shouldn't that mean a&s is much easier to get in than engineering, business w/e</p>

<p>Also, could someone tell me the schools that work like Stanford above?</p>

<p>Stanford doesn't have different undergraduate colleges quite like Cornell, Columbia, Penn, and others do. Instead, students simply apply to the university as a whole--there are no separate admissions rates.</p>

<p>I guess that's the case for Stanford.
However, I asked the same question to NYU representative in a college fair and she also said that the acceptance rate for arts&science and sterns business is the same. am I mistaken?
I schools other than Cornell have data</p>

<p>doesn't nyu have other schools besides a&s and stern? isn't tisch an undergraduate school?</p>

<p>yes nyu does but my point is
how does colleges balance such
and
if there are any stats like the one from Cornell(<a href="http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://dpb.cornell.edu/F_Undergraduate_Admissions.htm&lt;/a&gt;)
please post here
thanks</p>
