<p>hi I would like to go to university of rochester but it seems it has solid wall</p>
<p>Do anyone of you know which major has the highest acceptance rate for rochester?</p>
<p>What i am asking you is which major has the lowest competition rate?</p>
<p>Can you please answer the question ?</p>
<p>Thankyou very much</p>
<p>Rochester understands that most students change their minds at least twice when going into college. If you’re applying to Arts & Sciences, it doesn’t much matter what you put as your major. The largest percentage of accepted students are Undecided.</p>
<p>If you think you might want to be an engineer, you should apply for engineering, because you can transfer out if you don’t like it, but because of all the prerequisites, it’s hard to transfer in. Otherwise, it doesn’t really matter.</p>
<p>Would one be less likely to be admitted in applying to be an engineer?</p>
<p>I don’t think it makes any difference if you designate a school or not. I am not sure but I highly think not (hopefully the college rep will clarify).
With that said it is very easy to change majors between engineering and arts & science. There is no restrictions on taking classes between the schools and I’ve never gotten the feeling that you are in two different schools.</p>
<p>Thanks. Can anyone else confirm or debunk this?</p>
<p>3 friends of mine switched into BME after studying majors in the school of Arts and Science for their first semester.
Switching into BME (or any engineering) after studying something else is tough to do, both in getting accepted and in catching up with all of the missed requirements.
You will have to carry extra load just to catch up and you will have to prove that you can do it.
Because many that were allowed to make the transfer in the past failed miserably, it is even harder now to convince them to let you do it. But, if you show stellar performance and can show why you all of a sudden changed your mind to engineering, you have a decent change.</p>
<p>@big man - no, getting into the school of engineering outright is not harder than in to the regular school. They look at your math/physics a little differently because it’s a major prerequisite of studying engineering. And if you are weak in these subjects to begin with, I would seriously consider a different major. You will have a very hard time keeping up with the rest of the engineering students. Trust me, I’ve seen this happen to people who were not strong in math.</p>
<p>Besides these caveats, it does not matter what you apply for as a major. It plays no role in the admissions process because most students change their majors after 1-3 semesters of studies. Mark undecided or anything that pleases your mind. This really does nothing - you do have to declare your major “officially” until the end of your 3rd semester at UR.</p>
