Major Related Question?

Does the intended major you put down on the Coalition Application have an impact on your admission decision? Would putting pre-engineering be any different then putting pre-business?

If I understand correctly, starting this year, there’s no more “pre-engineering”. If you want to study Engineering, you must apply “Direct to College” to the College of Engineering. They have instructions such as “you will not be able to transfer to College of Engineering later if you are not admitted to CoE.”

So, yes, it matters. Direct to Engineering admission will be tougher than pre-science majors, but probably similar to Direct to Business School. UW’s Business School is as highly ranked as the Engineering School.
