<p>Is Princeton Engineering easier to get into than its other schools?</p>
<p>It's part of Princeton University... Is Princeton easy to get into? I'll let oyu answer that... But then again I'm anti-Math. On a more serious note I would think MIT and CalTech and CMU would be harder...</p>
<p>Oh I forgot, you dont apply to a school you just apply to the univeristy itself. So I guess it doesnt make a difference then if you were applying engineering or english</p>
<p>it's just that they look for different things? more math/science concentrations and activities?</p>
<p>No, I dont think the adcom looks for more math or science. However, you should probably express some interest in the maths/sciences if you're going for engineering.</p>
<p>As for engineering here at Princeton, its both rediculously difficult and amazing. We have some great resources and we have a pretty good engineering school (I think we're ranked between 10 and 15 nationwide). The school is small, so you definitely have some good personal relationships with the faculty, but they wont come to you. You have to seek them out. Also, they have a lot of events for freshmen such as 1YES, the first year engineering series, which brings speakers to talk about the field of engineering to freshmen and holds other engineering events. </p>
<p>There are also engineering study breaks which feature good fattening food for those late night problem set study sessions!</p>
<p>Overall, you're not gonna be let down by Princeton engineering, and in fact you'll be overwhelmed. </p>
<p>This all is to say....it's not easier to get into Princeton engineering than say MIT</p>
<p>Engineering students are expected to have higher Standardized Test Scores, because math/science kids are supposed to be people who believe int hat stuff. And they should be a little more forgiving on the EC stuff.</p>
<p>i don't understand... cornell is no.4 engineering but they're easier to get into... ahh confused...</p>
<p>I am only doing Princeton engineering because it's princeton and though it doesn't have that cachet of being "top 5" it is still a great place with quite an array of resources, and a small/intimate atmosphere. </p>
<p>That said I can totally see myself fitting in and prospering at P'ton because the culture and the atmosphere is similar to what I've experience for most of my intellectual life.</p>
