<p>The College of Arts and Science
v.s.
The School of Engineering and Applies Science</p>
<p>Which school is harder to get in?
I heard Engineering, but. yea. Which one?</p>
<p>CAS gets more applicants and i believe engineering has a higher acceptance rate, but dont be mislead. you should apply to the school you are better suited to. i am a complete math/science guy and i love bioengineering. thus, i was able to create an application that fit the engineering school. someone who got into CAS wouldn't necessarily get into engineering, and vice versa. you should decide which offers what you want, then tailor your application to such.</p>
<p>I'm not sure where i'm suited to.
I took Math IIC, bio, and chem for SAT IIs and going to take Cal AB in senior year. I think i'm more like math/science guy too.
But I heard Engineering is hard to get in.
So i considered Arts & Science but this school recommends foreign languange Subject test, which i didn't take :(
I want to go for a school that has higher acceptance rate that's why:(
I know this is stupid, but you know, :(</p>
<p>seas is easier to get into than cas... as long as you articulate why you want to go to penn and have good scores, you should be fine</p>
<p>That someone should apply to the engineering school simply because they like math/science is simply a myth.
I am very much a math/science guy but I simply haven't applied to any engineering schools. It really depends on what aspects of the subject interest you. For instance, I am much more interested in theoretical physics, pure mathematics and logic; because of this (and also because of the fact that I hope to do a dual major with philosophy) for a guy like me, engineering school isn't the best idea.</p>
<p>They're all pretty damn hard to get into these days...</p>
<p>I think the SEAS kids have a higher acceptance rate BUT also have a higher average SAT score...go figure.</p>
<p>I don't think there's any large difference between the two, especially since Engineering got a good deal more selective this year relative to the other schools. People realized that Engineering at an Ivy was a path to investment banking and management consulting. In the end, you should go to whatever school with the subject that interests you the most.</p>
