<p>because of the major I choose on common app for Engineering? I'm a computer programming nerd so many programs will fit me. But I don't want to have a lower chance because Operation Research is more difficult to get in than computer science. What about CAS? Does the major you put on your common app matter?</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters. You don’t even have to choose a major to apply lol</p>
<p>Is it true that certain majors are more difficult to get into?</p>
<p>I thought it was just engineering as a whole…</p>
<p>I don’t think so. My biggest hook is working as a freelance developer and I got into Engineering with somewhat average stats. You should be fine.</p>
<p>So why then AEM is so difficult to get into while other agricultural programs are much easier?</p>
<p>Engineering and College of Arts and Sciences are the ONLY colleges in which you can apply “Undecided”.</p>
<p>You are accepted into the colleges, NOT into the majors.
All of the other colleges you specify a major upon applying and you are accepted ONLY INTO THAT MAJOR.
Which means that in other colleges, some programs/majors are MORE COMPETITIVE and have HIGHER OVERALL STATISTICS than the college as a whole.</p>
