Does your Intended Major have an effect on weather you get accepted or not

<p>For Example would it be easier for say a Prospective History to gain acceptance rather than say a prospective Mechanical engineer major?</p>

<p>your choice of major does have an effect on whether you get in or not because they only have a certain number of spaces in each major</p>

<p>Ok which college is the easiest to get into and which one is the hardest?</p>

<p>I’m guessing that the sciences, technical fields (engineering, architecture), pre-health, nursing majors will be the hardest to get into. Traditional liberal arts majors such as history, english etc… will be easier to get into.</p>

<p>Ok thank you.</p>

<p>Could you chance me as well.</p>

<p>If your SAT is between 1160-1310 (Critical Reading + Math only) or your ACT is between 25-30, you should have a good chance of getting in. Also, class rank is important as 50% of students were in the top 10% of their high school class, 75% in the top 20% and 98% in the top half of their high school class.</p>

<p>I was denied admission with a 3.8 GPA 1260 on SAT
29 on ACT 4 AP classes. PLayed varsity sport 4 years have worked 3 years am a member of two of my school’s organizations I applied to school of education and was offered the Bridge Program. UGH! I have been accepted to LSU, AUBURN, USC, and Wofford but applied in different majors. So I say YES your major DOES effect WHETHER you get accepted. I am NOT in the top ten of my class. Big deal I’m not competing against all of them. Only a handful applied to Clemson. Most are going out of state.</p>

<p>iwantclemson, I’m sorry to hear about that. If you are really upset, I might consider appealing your decision. There is no reason really with these college acceptances. My friend had a 4.0 GPA and 2100 on the SAT and got rejected from Northeastern University. Colleges can be unpredictable with their decisions.</p>

<p>iwantclemson - my son’s stats are similar to yours (same GPA and APs, he had a lower SAT score but was in the top 10% of his class) and he was accepted – however, he got his second choice major (Communications) - his first choice was pre-business but he didn’t get it. He has to stay in Communications for a semester before changing it. Did you have a second choice major listed in your application? You may want to appeal the decision.</p>
