I got in EA for Stats + CS. I applied for this major because I’m interested in Data Science. I was wondering how much easier it was to get in for this major; I know many people who got differed for CS in the engineering department who have higher test scores and GPA. Is it because it’s holistic or is it really that much easier to get in for Stats + CS?
