I applied under environmental earth and soil science ED but was deferred
My MCA was around 3900, though I have around 4600 with extra points
I am thinking about switching to environmental management and protection and I want to know what has better chances of getting me accepted
I also read that there is a 50% yield for the majority of the CAFES majors compared to a 30% for the rest of the school and I was wondering if anyone knew if that was true
Finally, I made a mistake on my app and said that my degree objective was a BS when, in fact, I plan on getting an MS. I was wondering if that affects my chances / how I can change it if it does

This is where I got the information regarding the yield
With 4600 MCA points you should get accepted RD. I do not think selecting BS will affect your admission chances, but it is always best to call the admissions office and have them tell you.
Ok, thank you!
Also, I took the ACT and saw that you have to use the concordance posted on the other threat to calculate your scores into an SAT score. I was wondering if you use the ACT English or Reading score when calculating your SAT Critical Reading equivalent.
English
Environmental Management and Protection has about the same expected acceptance rate as the Environmental Earth and soil science (49% vs 51%). I see no advantage in switching majors especially if your MCA for RD will be 4600.
Thank you so much!
Be patient. They don’t add the extra points until they’ve filled 65% of the class. You should do well though. Good luck!
