is it easy to get into a harvard engineering?

<p>my question is, when applying to havard as an engineering student would it be easier to get in compared to applying to harvard business.</p>

<p>Harvard graduate engineering has one of the lowest, if not the lowest, admit rates out of all graduate engineering programs. I'm not sure about the undergrad numbers.</p>

<p>well rest assured, its not easy!</p>

<p>Are you talking about undergraduate admission? Harvard doesn't have an undergraduate business major.</p>

<p>um...I think he wants to know if there is a stastical advantage to applying to harvard's SEAS as opposed to FAS, to which I say "none as far as I know."</p>

<p>^ Are we talking about the undergraduate program, Piccolo? You know better than I, but the rep I've talked to several times has repeatedly said that you don't apply to the engineering program going into the college.</p>

<p>Yep, all undergraduates have to go through Harvard College.</p>

<p>Now I know admit rates aren't everything, but if I'm reading these statistics correctly both the SEAS and HBS grad programs clock in at 14%. So I wouldn't call either of them a picnic.</p>

<p>Harvard</a> School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Admissions - Graduate - Data</p>

<p>MBA</a> Statistics — Harvard Business School</p>

<p>Yeah, like I said...no advantage. You don't get the option of applying to a separate school.</p>

<p>i was a prospective undergraduate engineering applicant, and no, there's no difference in being a prospective engineering major vs. prospective arts/sciences. same exact application. it's not like Princeton/Columbia/Cornell/etc. everyone applies to Harvard College. plus the committee knows that majors aren't set in stone <em>at all</em> so it probably doesn't factor heavily in the decision process</p>
