<p>Well? I would think it would be harder, I dunno. I’m applying to SEAS for computer science as a female, but I don’t think being a female helps these days anymore.</p>
<p>I think I remember someone saying that being a female applying to the SEAS can help but i'm not completely sure.</p>
<p>yea, but that's crap... i mean, i suppose it does help, but you'd have to be qualified...</p>
<p>easier is debatable, seas has higher sat's and stats overall <em>it's self selective</em> for example i think in past years the math mid 50 was 760-800 where as college was closer to 720-770... not too different, but still higher</p>
<p>Yes, I'm worried about my math scores. I have a 730 SAT I and a 660 Math IIC which will hopefully be higher when I check on monday. And my main EC interest is Music.</p>
<p>Yeah SEAS tends to be stats oriented with a focus on math over verbal, CAS is the other way around. Being female will help for SEAS, it still matters.</p>
<p>if your main interest is music, you should be applying to cas, you shouldn't apply to a school by ease of entrance... now i had the same problem since i wanted music and chemical engineering, i chose seas, and i'm not sure i made the wisest choice (deferral)</p>
<p>If you're good at math/science and have good test scores, SEAS will probably be easier. The average SAT for SEAS last year was 1460, according to the letters they sent me. The criteria gets tougher each year, though.</p>
<p>Yea SEAS is a little more score oriented...and i hear its harder to get into...i dont think having music as your main EC interest is a problem unless thats what you actually wanna study..if you wanna study music you probbaly dont wanna be at SEAS lol...but having music as your main EC wont hurt your chances at getting into SEAS if thats what you meant...</p>
<p>yes, music is a passion, but it's a hobby. I've been warned by too many people not to go into music as a career. I love math though, and computers, and blah. I have a 2240, but verbal and CR are higher than math. Maybe I should just do CAS? But for what? I'm actually applying for Digital media design in SEAS.</p>
<p>i'm confused... as to what you want to do... assuming u want to do design, it could be interpreted as cas major as well as digital media, if it's more cad you want, it's seas, if it's basic design i think it's college</p>
<p>Digital Media Design is a special program from SEAS, not SAS.</p>
<p>i realize that, but the op is asking whether s/he should be applying to cas or seas... and it seems that what the op wants to do is more cas oriented, i was saying*</p>
<p>"yes, music is a passion, but it's a hobby"</p>
<p>Cool, what kind of music? I consider music to be a passion of mine as well (particularly rock music).</p>
<p>To echo the sentiments of someone who has already posted, SEAS is self-selective, which makes its admission percentage useless when compared to that of the College, which of course attracts a broader array of applicants in terms of talent, ability and accomplishment. I'd say that, for someone who is unsure and has no preference to the matter, the College is easier to get into. But what's the incentive of attending the College if it doesn't offer the major you want? If the major you want is offered through SEAS, then your application will most likely reflect your ability relevant to that particular major, much like the aspirations of many Wharton applicants are reflected in their self-started and self-maintained businesses. If your application can demonstrate a sense of interest and ability in your chosen area of study, they will be more keen to select you even if you're applying to the more "selective" school.</p>
<p>Apply to CAS if you want the best way to get in, they will value your music more and you fit the CAS profile. That is unless you really want SEAS (which I am not sure you do)</p>
<p>If you really want to do DMD, then apply to SEAS. Don't worry about your Math score being lower than your verbal. 2240 is a good score. Penn is an Ivy league and they don't just want engineering techies, even for SEAS.</p>
<p>In 2007, the CAS was harder to get into...</p>
<p>I dono if its changed now</p>
<p>Apply to whichever you want, transferring between SAS and SEAS is insanely easy. All I did was fill out a form.</p>
