Women in engineering are a hot commodity. Yes, it’s definitely easier for a WOMAN to be admitted to engineering than arts & sciences. The fact that choice of program for all applicants doesn’t matter may indicate that engineering is actually harder for men than otherwise.

Any yes, you are specifically admitted to the school of engineering and applied sciences to pursue a BSE degree. Yale and Harvard are different.

N.B. My friend’s wife is a Princeton civil engineering alum, and I asked.
