AU is a bit of a reach for me. What major is the easiest to get into and would help me get into American?

Not sure, maybe engineering.

I don't think they consider your major.

You apply to the University as a whole, not to a specific college. You can select a college at the time of application, or you can be undecided, which is essentially applying to the College of Arts & Sciences.

@jkazoo oh no wonder I'm in College of Arts and Sciences.. lol.. how do you know this and do you know specifically, why?

Jamesnew:

Go to the following link for the AU paper application:

http://www.american.edu/admissions/p...pplication.pdf

On page 3, the right hand column, read "Indicating your choice of major". Note that they specifically say "Your choice of major will not affect the admissions
decision."
