Does Carnegie Mellon admissions difficulty vary by major?

<p>Is it harder to get in for Biomedical Engineering, or engineering in general, then it would be for Chemistry?</p>

<p>bump!!!</p>

<p>They look pretty similar from this link: [Admission</a> > Admission Statistics](<a href=“Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University”>Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University)</p>

<p>I’ve seen that page, but before I put too much trust in it, do you know how it counts people who put a second, third or fourth choice?</p>

<p>They do differ somewhat as they consider a separate application for each department you choose. I know that CIT is more selective than Tepper for instance, and that the College of Fine Arts is also extremely selective. I would assume that since they read different applications for each department you apply to that some are more selective than others.</p>

<p>CIT more selective than Tepper? [Admission</a> > Admission Statistics](<a href=“Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University”>Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University) Off this link? You better not be a CIT student because your estimation skills need some touching up. The quality of their respective student bodies however, is different if that’s what you’re getting at.</p>
