<p>it is statically. but what about the applicant pool? are the applicants more competitive for engineering?</p>
<p>It's probably easier for females to get accepted, anyway. It's like 28% female right now. :p
Overall? I doubt it. :-/</p>
<p>engineering applicants are way more self selective..u r competting with all those math 800, having taken multivariable junior year</p>
<p>so if i'm unsure of my intended area of studies, should I apply to art and science instead?</p>
<p>u can always do internal transferring its pretty easy i heard, but anyway if ur stats are up to par with the engineering people most def its easier to get into [as a female]</p>
<p>So I guess, based on conclusions stated, that everyone applying to engineering should work on raising their scores and becoming females, is that the correct understanding?</p>
<p>Just look at the ED Academic Index thread somewhere in this forum... engineering is sort of stacked. I talked to an admissions officer, and she said that it's def harder to transfer into engineering than out of it, so idk. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to be an engineer (why I applied ED engineering), but I think that I'll be able to change my mind more easily than, say, if I went to Arts and Sciences and decided that I wanted to do engineering. It's really up to you I guess.</p>
<p>Engineering is harder to get out of than arts and sciences, keep that in mind. (i.e. can you handle the courseload). The admissions statistic is pretty high, but the kids here are insanely smart.</p>
<p>Also, a lot of kids haven't taken multivariable at all, btw are you from Cincinnati (i.e. bearcats)</p>
<p>The only easy colleges to get into are the discount colleges: CALS, HumEc, and ILR.</p>
<p>my vote for the stupidest and least informed comment of the year is above.</p>
<p>Clearly gomestar is a student in one of the discount colleges. I would hazard a guess and say HumEc, as evidenced by all the time he has to wander this board.</p>
<p>not quite, but a solid try. what's your excuse for staying in on a saturday night? Up writing a paper like I am? Somebody tell me I'm wrong when I say CC is great for procrastonation...</p>
<p>no, I'm not from Cincinnati</p>
<p>too bad I'm not female, and have not taken multivariable
I am most likely to choose Operational research and industrial engineering as my major if I decide to apply to CoE, because it's related to business</p>
<p>I'm thinking about ILR too.</p>
<p>any other input?</p>
<p>orie isn't very stats driven. My housemate is an orie major. both engineering and ILR have a similar acceptance rate, though engineering has a higher SAT range. on the other hand, ILR will place a huge emphasis on your ECs, more so than your SAT.</p>
<p>Does engineering have a higher acceptace rate? Yes, for those with SATs & Math IIc in the upper 700's. </p>
<p>quickflood: I don't suggest applying to Engineering just as a way to get accepted at Cornell. Unless you're math/science you'll be competing with a unique applicant pool & it could backfire on you.</p>
<p>Engineering more selective than A&S, I wouldn't come to that conclusion. Both are equally hard, isn't Architecture even harder, 50-60 students per year.</p>
<p>Last year, Niece applied to A&S, New York residence, 1580 (out of 1600) on her SAT I, 800,800,680(chem) SATII = REJECTED.</p>
<p>i m not from ohio..the guy u were talking about was michael chen...i know him</p>
<p>i don't know what i want to do with life :(
either engineering related or business/finance related
so that's why it's a hard decision for me
i'm not trying to apply to engineering just because it has a higher acceptance rate, I really don't know what choose</p>
<p>you think 2200 SAT is in the range for engineering?</p>
<p>quickflood:
What is your Math SAT? Did you take any science or Math SAT IIs? Look at the Engineering courses - there's a set curriculum. Are these courses you want to take? </p>
<p>Most 17 year olds don't know what they want to do with their lives, and many that think they do change several times. That's ok!!</p>
<p>I would imagine that which school would be a harder admit for a particular applicant would depend on how that applicant's bio matched up with the particular school. The schools are not the same, and their criteria probably reflect this.</p>
<p>Generally people who think they want to be engineers, and have demonstrated interest and high capability in math and science would be likely candidates for the engineering school. </p>
<p>People who expect to read and write a lot in college in addition to math/science, want to learn a foreign language, and do not want to be engineers might be more typical candidates for the College of Arts & Sciences.
I would think that their high school backgrounds might give evidence to this diversity of interests.</p>
<p>If one could apply to both colleges simultaneously, I can readily imagine that a large number of successful engineering applicants would be rejected at Arts & Sciences, and vica versa.</p>
