<p>OK so I'm looking at the Carnegie Mellon application onn commonapp right. It asks me to rank my college/major, and I'm pretty curious as to how much the ranking matters. Why? Ideally, I would like to go to the Tepper School of Business, but I know how competitive that is, so I think I should instead go for Economics in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences.</p>
<p>If I pick Tepper as my first choice, and get rejected, is it possible to be accepted in the College of H&SS? (that is, I rank Tepper #1, H&SS #2)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
