<p>Is it more difficult to be accepted into the Engineering school or just the regular undergraduate school?</p>
<p>bump, im curious as well</p>
<p>Princeton doesn’t accept people specifically into the engineering or regular undergraduate programs…</p>
<p>See third to last question here:
[Princeton</a> University | The Application Process](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/faq/the_application_process/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/faq/the_application_process/)</p>
<p>its still a bit unclear, because they are considered differently, which can make one more difficult…</p>
<p>Well they make you write another essay if you want to go for engineering so there has to be a difference regardless of what they say. Doesn’t there?</p>
<p>I would think engineering might be slightly easier since less people want to go for engineering.</p>
<p>Princeton’s engineering choice is fairly non-binding. I loved the engineering essay though. My common app and the regular Princeton one were fairly generic, while in my engineering one I could really let loose and show my personality and my passion, which imo is a huge plus.</p>
<p>I can’t say about the selectivity, but once you get in your choice is totally non-binding…you just have to fill out a form. And you can switch between AB / BSE as many times as you want, basically.</p>
<p>Engineering is 1/5th the size of the rest of the school so I would think “applying” to that “limits” your chance of acceptance due to sheer #s of typical high scoring Math/Sci kids who already apply…</p>
