<p>No there is only one application process to Engineering not matter if you do ED or RD.
I will pass on what we were told to do when applying for the school of design-another highly competitive major; go for eng if you really want it. If admissions feels you don’t make the cut for eng but you are still strong enough for university studies you will be admitted there. At that point you can start with university studies and then try to transfer in to eng but that is a harder route-but is done all the time.</p>
