Actually at Harvard (where I work in the SEAS) as an undergrad you would apply to Harvard directly but then take courses in SEAS - SEAS doesn’t have separate admissions for undergrads only grads. SEAS is mainly engineering and applied sciences - the “other sciences” bio, chem, physics, etc have their own departments in the regular school of arts and sciences. I’m sure it varies college to college and can be pretty confusing.
