<p>In general, by college.</p>

<p>For instance, would there be any difference in chances of being admitted if i choose a statistics majors versus an economics major under the College of Letters and Science?</p>

<p>Well, the College of Letters and Science doesn’t exist. If you meant the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, which is home to both statistics and economics, then you would be in the same applicant pool.</p>

<p>If so, what is the easiest/hardest major in L&S to be admitted in as?</p>

<p>That’s not how it works. (I think you may have posted this to the wrong forum?) Have a look at <a href=“http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/undergraduate-admission-statistics”>http://admission.enrollment.cmu.edu/pages/undergraduate-admission-statistics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
