<p>This may seem like a stupid question, but does your intended major and subschool(A&S, Management) have an impact on your acceptance chance? For example, I want to study history. If a school does not have a lot of kids studying history and a lot going for another subject, will I have a better chance of getting in?
I know this is oddly phrased so feel free to ask me to elaborate so you can understand. Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>it all depends on the school. Some schools admit by major, some by college (Letters&Science, Fine Arts, etc), some do not care about your intended study field.</p>
<p>Separate schools within the university will have separate admissions rates. The different between one intended major and another within the same school is negligible, though it may be a slight boost to put down an unrepresented major if you have the demonstrated interest and accomplishment to back it up.</p>
