<p>Is it easier for females to get into SEAS than the regular college? </p>
<p>Is the accpetance rate higher for engineering than for Columbia College or other Ivy League schools?</p>
<p>I believe the engineering accept rate is close to 30%; possibly even higher. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the common MIT reject turned SEAS admit will contend that it's a more self-selecting group. I would imagine that females would have an advantage in SEAS. The college is pretty diluted with females as it is.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what the fact that MIT is harder to get into than SEAS has to do with the fact that any engingeering program has a more self-selective applicant pool than any non-engineering program.</p>
