<p>Do you apply for a specific school on the Santa Clara application?
If so can you please rank them on "hardest to get into - not as hard" Please also tell me which schools look at the person more than the stats and what not.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>That would depend on your interests. We just did a tour of SCU admissions rep said that it was easy to change majors. Most students follow a course of study in the College of Arts and Sciences. That's more of the LAC side to SCU but I believe they live and attend common classes along side the business and engineering students. The Learning Communities at SCU are not based on your major so I think you are likely to have all three "schools" represented within them. Engineering is the toughest to get in to I would imagine because SCU's engineering program is so good. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Yes, you apply for a specific school. Hardest to easiest: Engineering (smallest group), Leavey Business, and then Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>It is easy to change majors within a school, but much more difficult when trying to change schools because each has different core requirements.</p>
<p>That being said, at orientation before freshman year, every student has the opportunity to potentially change their school.</p>
<p>DD just completed her freshman year at SCU in the College of Arts and Sciences. HOWEVER, she was very interested in pursuing an engineering course of study and took all the required courses for that her freshman year (they also fulfilled many of the CORE requirements for CAS). This fall, she is starting the full engineering sequence and assuming she likes it and does well, she will continue in that college for her degree. She had no difficulty switching to this major at the university. She will, however, need to spend next summer there taking the physics sequence in order to graduate in four years. When she spoke to the engineering advisor, he encouraged her to take the engineering intro courses.</p>
<p>i am unsure if i can get into the business school at Santa Clara with my 3.5 (uw) ACT 25. Anyone know my chances? Would you recommend that I apply for CAS EA or apply EA to business and if i don't get in, be reconsidered for CAS in RA?</p>
