Post #4 lists the the different ways that schools manage their admittance process. This is by school, not by major. Schools will differ on whether they admit directly to a major or into a general education program but that will be true regardless of which EA/ED/RD/Rolling/SCEA procedure the school follows.

The only situation I can think of that may be outside these is admittance to some very competitive programs like BA/MD. But even there, the applicant has usually already been admitted to the school under one of the above admittance cycles.
