Importance of majors in Ivy schools

Unfortunately, majors or divisions with restricted admission are fairly common. Half of the Ivy League, many popular state flagships and other state universities, and other schools like CMU, USC, and NYU, have at least one major or division that is restricted admission, so that students changing majors into it have to face a secondary admission process. An undecided student should check carefully on the difficulty of getting into any of his/her possible majors of interest at each college.
