<p>hey, does anyone kno how they do the applications to the different schools?
for example, do they only compare ppl who are applying to SEAS withother ppl applying to SEAS?
does anyone know?
also, would the fact that im a girl who wants to do engineering help me at all? cuz im sure the amount of guys applying to SEAS > the amount of girls...so would they only compare the girls to other girls?
stupid question..but anyone know?</p>
<p>Yes, they compare applicants within each school. Usually girls get a better edge than guys when it comes to engineering because less girls apply; however, at the top tier schools, a large number of girls and guys apply to engineering so it doesn't help. I can't speak for SEAS though so it could be either situation.</p>
