<p>is either higher?</p>
<p>i really like two majors but theyre in separate schools. by this point i dont care about anything else but the chances</p>
<p>The difference is so negligible (a couple or so points), that I wouldn’t let that be a determination. Rather, I’d focus on the overall curricula of the two schools, and determine which one inspires more passion that you can communicate in your essays. Keep in mind that your major will only take up a third or so of your total number of courses (and many students end up changing from their initial intended major, anyway), so you should consider and compare what the rest of the curriculum will look like in the two schools, and decide which you prefer.</p>
<p>That’s my recommendation. :)</p>
<p>I assume you might be premed and debating between bioengineering and biology. Bioengineering is a much more intensive major than biology with more required courses. This is what you should consider when applying. You could also decide to transfer to SEAS within the first year. Just take or have credit for Math, Physics, and maybe chemistry and you will have a lot of flexibility. I know several people who transferred into mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>I’d like to add that Biology and Bioengineering are very different disciplines, and honestly don’t have much to do with each other. Bioengineering isn’t simply a harder and more quantitative form of biology. A B.A. in Biology (and its associated concentrations) will educate you in-depth on various biological systems and concepts. On the other hand, Bioengineering is more like Materials Science and Mech E. topics but within the specific context of living systems. You don’t actually learn a whole lot of actual biology (i.e. genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, etc…) in bioengineering (in fact, you only have to take one intro and one intermediate bio course). Keep this in mind when deciding which program to apply for (assuming Poeme’s assumptions are correct). </p>
