<p>How much harder is the engineering admissions than the regular admissions? Also, how does it compare to Harvard engineering (I find Boston pretty cool)?</p>
<p>Well, I just got accepted into the engineering program today. I’m a full IB Diploma student (3HL classes and 3SL classes), and my anticipated final grade is about 36, give or take. My SAT score was 1850, and my essay, well, I didn’t write one specifically for BU on my Common Application. I simply selected the “An Essay of Your Choice” option and submitted my USC essay. My extra-curricular activities aren’t exactly first-rate either!</p>
<p>You should have no sweat getting in. I haven’t heard much about Harvard engineering, but I’ve heard plenty of good things about BU engineering, so I’m guessing BU engineering is better. However, getting a job might be easier with the Harvard prestige on your diploma.</p>
