Getting accepted to PPE

<p>My mind is racing at 1 million mph, so bare with me.</p>

<p>What does it take to get accepted into CMC's PPE program? I'm sure it's more than just acing those gen ed classes throughout the first two years. What sorts of EC's are they looking for and what is the essay topic? Would hooks that generally help in college admissions such as URM status provide any assistance for admission (to possibly add diversity to the program)?</p>

<p>Essentially, what "type" of student are they looking for that stands out from the rest of the CMC community?</p>
