<p>Is it typical for SEAS graduates to go into fields other than engineering? For example, what percent to onto medical school? Also, do engineering students get access to the same pre-professional advisors as do non engineers?</p>
<p>On a somewhat unrelated note, are there restrictions on which A/S classes SEAS students can take?</p>
<p>typically SEAS graduates do not become engineers...for an engineering school the total precentage is lower than you'd think. I would guess that about 10-20% go to med school. yes engineering students get the same access to advisors.</p>
<p>I dont understand your last question but i think the answer is no (i dont know what A/S is).</p>
<p>A/S referrs to arts and sciences.</p>
<p>I guess what I meant to ask was: Do SEAS students get access to the same courses that CC students get access to, and are they restricted in any way?</p>
<p>yea, most CC courses are open to SEAS students</p>

<p>There's no such thing as a "CC course." Other than maybe Frontiers of Science, I can't think of a single undergrad class that isn't open to SEAS students.</p>
<p>Thanks. Are SEAS students restricted in their course selection (besides majors and minors), though?</p>
<p>Nope. There's no "priority" whatsoever for CC kids in any of the non-engineering classes.</p>
<p>essentially, CC and SEAS are entirely and completely equal, except in the following (and in my opinion minor) respects:</p>
<ul>
<li>access to CC alumni events (SEAS has their own but it's not as big a network)</li>
<li>access to the arts & science majors (SEAS has a list of, shockingly, engineering and applied science majors, but you can't just decide to be a history major unless you transfer internally)</li>
<li>Instead of a 100% liberal-arts core curriculum, we have required physics, chemistry and calculus (and compsci, econ and a preprofessional class). In exchange, we have to take many fewer requirements among the CC core (including no foreign language)</li>
</ul>
<p>Housing is equal, dining is equal, advisors are equal, invitations to events, club membership, basically everything is equivalent except for those 3 things.</p>
<p>(oh, and the nerdy stereotypes :) )</p>
<p>Good post. Just a side-note:</p>

<p>In my experience, I don't think there's anything here. Most of the alumni events are joint SEAS/CC. The swanky CC events (i.e., $500/plate black tie dinner events) are happy to have SEAS alumni pay their fare.</p>
<p>That may be true, I haven't gone to much of anything after graduation - but while in school, it seemed that CC kids got invited to a few recruiting events or alumni events that didn't go out to the equivalent SEAS mailing list. It wasn't a huge deal - in fact, it was remarkable because up until then, I hadn't seen anything except classes/majors that was different treatment for the two schools.</p>
<p>I guess to my previous list you'd have to add that the student councils, CCSC and ESC, have different agendas and different rates of accomplishing things throughout the year. They often work together on issues, but as you might imagine they work rather differently.</p>
