<p>Decision:Accepted!</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: Didn’t take
[</em>] SAT IIs: Nope
[<em>] ACT: 31
[</em>] GPA: 3.85
[<em>] Rank: Top 10%
[</em>] Other stats:
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays:I’m terrible at writing, probably below average for engineering…
[</em>] Hook (if any): Took some really advanced courses in math/science, and lots of experience in computer science!
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[<em>] State or Country: MI
[</em>] School Type: Small public
[<em>] Ethnicity:Asian
[</em>] Gender:Male
[/ul]Other Factors:</p>

<p>What is the differenence in Computer Science (College of Engineering) and Statistics/Computer Science or Matematics/Computer Science (College of LAS)?</p>

<p>Do all these three majors hve the same job opportunities in Depatrmnet of Computer Science? Or. does any one hase eny edge over the other/brand value?</p>

<p>^ I don’t really have any info, but I’m sure it would be better to major in CS through the College of Engineering since it’s much more selective than LAS, and it’s ranked #5 in the nation (or something like that…). The prestige of the Engineering college will definitely help.</p>

<p>Also, I think the College of Engineering has more course requirements/credits to graduate.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted!</p>
