<p>Prof, if I read your post correctly, you are stating that for auto/academic admits their applications for engineering are under different rules for admission than other majors. That is not true. Those students who are admitted to the University are able to choose any major that has openings at the time of their acceptance. They can even change majors online without permission, again provided there is room. The Engineering & Business majors (and a few more) fill up very quickly. Due to the popularity of the majors, they tend to have a higher percentage of auto/academic admits since they process through the system faster. Thus the reserve amount for review admits is smaller, and more competitive for those slots versus other majors.</p>
<p>I’m not sure where you got your info. on the SAT/ACT but I have never heard that theory of admissions applied at this school. ( I’m not saying it isn’t, but just saying I have not heard it) Do you have some insider information from this university? It is my understanding review admits can also have any major that is still open, although there aren’t as many choices available at that point. They are not admitted to only the major indicated on their application, but to the University as a whole.</p>
