Alright, so I was planning on applying ED to CAS, but I’ve kinda gotten myself into a perplexing problem.

I wanted to go to CAS to pursue PPE, Political Science, or Psychology; After that I’d go to law school (and hope to become a judge/senator/UN member etc)

However, my Mom kinda got it into my head that there are TOO MANY PEOPLE with humanitarian degrees such as Poli Sci, Psych, Economics, etc and that there really isn’t any room to move. That is a valid point, I guess.

She told me how her degree in chemical engineering got her everywhere, and it’s one of the first things that people notice when they see her resume (she works in the financial sector now).

So I was kind of thinking maybe I should also go into Engineering; after all, it does build analytic skills for law, and the field is desirable (plus I love chemistry).

So this led me to a few questions:

1. Is SEA’s admissions rate higher than CAS’s?

2. Do they expect you to take a Math SAT II (I already took Chem, 750)

3. Is it possible to for instance get into CAS, but complete enough classes in engineering to get a double degree in a CAS major, and a SEA major (without doing Valegos)?

I know that was long, but I’ll appreciate all comments, thanks!
