<p>I’m thinking about applying to the Law and Society program in the Fisher house in the quad. I think I have a good chance of getting in because I have a lot of government related ECS- Boys State, Youth In Government Club, Competition Government, Proactionaries For Social Justice (affiliated with the Young Democrats of Arizona).</p>
<p>However, since it is the farthest from the engineering/science area, I was wondering- is there a similar ratio of engineers in Fisher as there might be in Ware and Riepe?</p>
<p>First off, you sound as if you believe that gaining admission to residential programs is competetive, which is just not true. If you apply, you will get in - I have never really heard of anyone being rejected from one. Secondly, the Quad is more of one cohesive whole than the sum of its parts. A cross section of either Ware, Riepe, or Fisher is bound to be virtually the same, with equal amounts of each type of student.</p>
<p>thats good to know, because i was under the impression that riepe had fewer seas students than the others. </p>
<p>also, im interested that you said noone really gets rejected from residential programs. i havent heard that before, and it seems like it might be a good idea to apply to one then if it will help me get into the quad. do you res programs take up a lot of time, specifically the entrepreneurship prgm in ware?</p>
<p>Actually, alot of people got rejected from residential programs last year. I did too, except I didn't send in an essay. But a guy down in my hall got rejected from 3 different programs. He sent in 3 seperate essays too.</p>
<p>If you give a wholehearted attempt in writing an enthusiastic essay, and actually put some effort into it, you won't get rejected. However, if you just apply to as many as you can to increase your chances for the Quad, and just BS the essays, then you may very well be rejected.</p>
<p>Depends on which program you try for. I applied to the Health and Fitness program, wrote a very good essay and was still denied admission.. the very popular programs are harder to get into, though I wonder if they really do go by essay or just a random kind of lottery..</p>
