<p>is the college of arts and sciences or engineering harder to get into in state? does one have SAT scores that are worse than the other? Does one admit a greater percentage of students that apply?</p>
<p>Who cares. Apply to whichever school you'd like to major in. Don't just apply to the e-school because it might be easier to get in to. You'll hate yourself.</p>
<p>I second that! It is crazy to apply into something that you'd be unhappy doing. Imagine yourself spending what are supposed to be 4 of the best years of your life in misery. Then realize that you're stuck doing what you studied as your career. </p>
<p>Apply to a program that you enjoy and have a passion for, you may not get in everywhere you apply, but you'll be much happier at your second choice school doing something you like than at your first choice school in something you just don't like.</p>
<p>the problem is, i like both. probably engineering more, so i was wondering if the engineering school was as tough to get into like arts and sciences...... it was just a simple question</p>
<p>the one that will be easier to get into is the one you're more qualified for. if you have 5's on all of your AP english and history tests and no engineering experience/activities/dreams/etc then the eschool would not be easier to get into. if you've been doing research since you were 5, then the eschool might be easier. uva is one of the best public schools in the country, there's no easy way to get in (one sub school vs another).</p>
<p>thanks, thats a good point... i think ill be more prepared for engineering</p>
