Which one is more competitive for asian males? And do a lot of people apply A&S compared to engineering because it seems easier to get into?
I wouldn’t read into it that much. The two programs are essentially the same, but different admission committees will be reviewing your application depending on which you apply to. Yeah, you can analyze the acceptance rates for the two schools, but it doesn’t change the fact that CS is a competitive major and how well you actually fit matters much more than acceptance rates (the two schools have different kinds of applicants). Choose the school which offers the best coursework for what you want to study and for which you can write the best supplement.
(i’m also an asian male - applied to A&S CS because of HS coursework+the coursework requirements are a better fit for me)
