Florida state
UFlorida
UCSB
UCLA
USC
SDSU

<p>Well, Arizona State accepts everything with a pulse, but to answer your question, yes. If you are applying to an engineering-specific school or department, you will probably be held to a higher standard with the hard stats. Engineering applicants tend to be much more competitive, so you’ll have to compete with that.</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLOs engineering department is much more competitive than the rest of the school. I can’t tell you exactly for the other ones, but impacted majors mean lower chances of getting in and engineering is frequently impacted. Good luck with wherever you apply!</p>

<p>Would you chance me back?
