Overtheline:

Perhaps, CMU is an anomoly. CMU admits students to specific colleges, each of which has a very specific enrollment number.

Admitting by division is not rare. It is common among more selective schools that have at least one division that is more popular than its capacity. State flagships are common examples, but more selective private schools like Penn, Columbia, Cornell, and NYU are other examples.
