Some schools harder to get than others?

I was just wondering whether is it difficult to get into the College Of Agriculture and Life Sciences as compared to the College of Engineering or is it vice versa?

Other than Environmental Engineering, which is in CALS. There isn't much cross over in major fields of study between the two colleges.

So -- if your application sets up like one for an engineering student -- heavy on STEM, etc. and you apply to CALS, you're likely not to come off as a good fit. Similarly, if you're missing what most engineering students have (less STEM, lower SAT-M, etc.,) your application won't read well.

You should apply where your interest lie.

Having said this -- I know the data is published somewhere, but haven't looked it recently. From Memory -- Engineering has higher average SAT scores and a lower acceptance rate than CALS.

Thank you so much! I want to be applying to CALS then! I was just a little doubtful on the admission stats though!
Thanks a ton!
