I’m a rising senior who is planing on majoring in political science. I was wondering if political science is harder or easier to get into than other majors. I’m not sure if I should apply to more reach schools or fallback schools because I don’t really know how hard of a program that is to get into. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks.
No. And, most schools just admit you to the school. I’m not aware of any univs that have impacted Poly Sci programs.
What are your test scores and GPA? (include SAT breakdown - don’t superscore))
What is your home state?
How much will your family pay per year?

Hi, I am a senior in high school in NJ and I was wondering what my odds are of getting into the following schools: Vanderbilt (reach), Boston College (reach), University of Miami, Univ of Gerogia, Texas A&M, and Rutgers. I have a 4.04 weighted GPA and 3.55 uw which I know is rather unimpressive but I got a 33 on ACT and have taken a lot of honors and AP class's as well as 4 years of a language. I have played varsity hockey for 3 years and will play for a 4th and have run jv track for 2 years. I am in NHS and have many volunteer hours doing things like Hurricane Sandy cleanup, Habitat for Humanity, feeding the homeless, and things of that nature. I am in the top quarter of my class, too. Thanks!

In a more recent post, you wrote that you have an ACT 32, which is it?
Also, in another recent post, you express an interest in Sports Management. Is that still an interest?
Have you asked your parents how much they’ll pay? If not, do so. This is important.
Most schools admit to the college of arts and sciences as a group without regard to majors of poly sci, philosophy, history etc. When schools have separate colleges that is when they admit by major more, like Arts + Science, Engineering or Business. You see even when they have those separations they are lumped together.
