<p>I'm not sure about which school I should apply to (SEAS or SAS), because my main goal is to get into Penn. </p>

<p>some stats

31 ACT (34 Math, 31 CR)
760 Math I SAT II
770 Math II SAT II
I have a huge range of extracurricular activities, ranging from orchestra to president of honor society to varsity volleyball to volunteering clubs.

<p>Any information, guidance, or help would be awesome! Thanks</p>

<p>my advice is apply to whichever one you actually want to do. i know at least one person here who applied to engineering because he thought it would be easier to get in or something but hates it and it takes a whole year before you can transfer out (though you can start taking classes towards the new school second semester i believe). but really don’t just apply to which you think is easier or you’ll hate college.</p>

<p>Should have applied ED!</p>

<p>I’d like to add that it is a lot of fun watching the engineering kids struggle with loads of homework and a huge first semester course load so I encourage you to apply to SEAS.</p>

<p>As I mentioned on that thread-----------it was literally two years ago.</p>

<p>ED has since increased 17% and there is no longer that kind of benefit. Apply for what you want to do. If you look at the Decisions thread from 2014, the engineers who were accepted had incredible stats. CAS isn’t necessarily harder.</p>
