<p>First and foremost im applying to human ecology regardless of what the stats are. I know that it is important to apply to the school that is right for you, not the school that has the most laxed admissions. That being said, I was wondering which schools had the highest admissions rates. </p>
<p>Which is the "easiest" ED?
Which is the "easiest" RD?
Which typically accepts sudents with lower SATs or GPAs?</p>
<p>Hotel school isnt included because I know that they accpet people with drastically different credentials.</p>
<p>There is no easiest school to get into. (in fact, no college within an ivy league will be easy to get into). By the statistics, the Engineering school (ranked VERY high) is the least difficult to get into RD and ED @ about a 40% acceptence rate. Even a better rate for girls. But the applicant pool for that college is extremely qualified...note that that college has the best SAT average out of all colleges.</p>
<p>You said that hotel accepts drastically different sorts of students, but the truth is that all of the colleges accept drastically different students. Well rounded people will have better results applying to Arts & Sciences, a liberal-arts type college. Angular science/bio and a few business ppl will do better with CALS. Hard sciences/mathy people will get better results with engineering. Artsy sorts of people will get into AAP. The list goes on...</p>
<p>I think Human Ecology is relatively one of the easiest to get into (compared to CAS at least), given it's higher admit rate. r1400sch brought up a great point about how people with different strengths will find it easier to get into certain schools. As you said, it depends on your interests, and if you are interested in human studies, than HE is a great choice! If you look at the admit rates, it's pretty high, but again, the applicant pools applying to each college will be very qualified.</p>
<p>It’s all dependent on how much passion/interest u show in that school/area of study, as liana mentioned! If u think HE intrigues u then It’ll show… GL </p>
<p>Ps. I just noticed that section on that chart Liana posted, “no college designated” lol they just disregard those apps!?! Sad… lol</p>
<p>wow lol. that really is terrible for all those that did not designate a college.
liana are there stats like that for ED? They were very very helpful :)</p>
<p>They won't release the data in my opinion because the rates are a little high. Cornell's a great place but because they're big, they need to fill a class of 3200 or so. Even though they get (i believe) the most applicants in the Ivy league, their acceptence rate is higher because of that large size. That rate makes them rank lower and thus yield also turns out to be lower. They in turn need to take A LOT from a round where students have to go no matter what--ED.</p>
<p>1/3 of the class is usually taken ED...and the overall ED rate hovers in the mid 30 percents. If you wanna go to Cornell, take advantage of their predicament and apply ED--they'll be way more inclined to take you than in RD. Selection of 1000 out of 2500 is a lot easier for you than selection of 5000 from 30000.</p>
<p>AEM major is probably pretty difficult, especially given its growing reputation. many of the majors at CAS as well (are you even required to choose one for that school?)</p>
<p>If there are very few people in a certain major, especially if it's one that most people won't think of applying to, they will take almost anyone that's reasonably qualified and perhaps even shows interest for that major. This is mainly because they don't want the major to die out. This is a very practical consideration for the department. On the other hand, if you apply to let's say biology, english, psychology, or government, it is not a great benefit to them if you come so they can be more selective. </p>
<p>So I guess in general, if you give them a good reason to want you, they will take you. Otherwise, it's really a probability game. If you're an URM, have a exciting background, from a state that most people don't come from, or apply to a major that most people don't apply to, then you will have a better chance. If you are all of those and add in some decent grades and test scores, then it's pretty much a guaranteed shot.</p>
<p>understandable. is there any data on the number of people in each major? also can someone apply ED and undecided? Does one have a better or worse chance of getting accepted if they apply undecided?</p>
<p>architecture is one of the hardest to get into. abotu 1000 apply for 50-60 spots. about 1 in 17 applicants get in...only 18 got in ED to fill a class of 60</p>
