Is Princeton engineering easier to get into than another science major?

I’m a current Princeton student in engineering and I wouldn’t necessarily say that is true. They don’t admit students to a specific program/major, but they may take in to account what major you say you’re interested and what classes and clubs you’ve been in that have to deal with this area of study. They will look at your intended major as part of your overall application and the “total package” of who you are and what you are interested in. Also, a quick side note, @azwu331, ORFE is more popular than you’d think! @ccmember11598, CBE is supposed to be pretty hard (I have some friends in it). Just make sure to really stay true to yourself in your application, don’t say your intended major is something different than what it actually is just because you think it will make it easier to get in; you’re either going to get in or you’re not. The best thing is to be honest in your application; that’s what I did and I got in. Good luck to both of you, Princeton is awesome!
