<p>Hey everyone.</p>
<p>I just got this message from the Assistant Director of Undergrad Admissions</p>
<p>"I reviewed your application today, and discovered that your high school academic and extracurricular interests are similar to those of students who apply to our College of Community and Public Affairs program in Human Development. </p>
<p>If you would like me to review your application for admission to the Human Development Program, please contact me via phone or email today."</p>
<p>And then it goes on to list the good stuff about CCPA. And tell me I'm a good fit for this college.</p>
<p>Well, I'm a bit confused. On my commonapp I said I was interested in majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing - which would mean applying to Harpur. And is this supposed to be a good sign? </p>
<p>Did anyone else get this?</p>
<p>I'd call and make sure which school you're more likely to be accepted to! I thought Harpur was easier, that's why I'd have second thoughts about changing which one you're applying to. D was deferred at Harpur and hasn't gotten any email from Bing in months.</p>
<p>several other people have already posted about receiving this type of message -- look at those threads.
the only undergrad major offered in ccpa is human development.</p>
<p>So maybe you're an automatic accept if you change your desired college?</p>
<p>Muffy333 are you guessing or are you sure its alot easier to get in with that program?</p>
<p>I don't have any special knowledge; usually the more specialized schools accept a lower percentage than Harpur.</p>
<p>I've just talked to the admission office and they said think more about switching into ccpa program, because it only offers HD program. ALSO, she said chance of getting into Binghamton is same for every majors and warned me not to switch it just because you think it will increase your chance of getting in, but I heard that the buisiness major is harder than other majors, so it is not true. Does anybody have an answer for this?</p>
<p>There is absolutely no way it's "the same" for all majors. However, they are right to tell you not to try to "get yourself in" with one major over the other. For "competitive" majors, if you don't get in as a freshman, you probably won't get in as a transfer, either.</p>
