<p>Civil engineering is one of the more lenient engineering majors to get in to but it’s not very big so I’m not sure what that adds up to. I don’t have much personal experience/knowledge about CivE admissions but my impression is that top 3.5% and 700+ in math should get him in.
On the other hand, his numbers seem to be similar to the few that I’ve heard from my friends in business. Again, I’m not very familiar with the business school and don’t want to make any assumptions.</p>
<p>Sorry that I couldn’t answer that better but the little experience I have only tells me that his Business 1st, Engineering 2nd plan is at least plausible. I also don’t know if McCombs does rolling admissions but that is a question that could be easily answered by a quick email or phone call.</p>
