For colleges that have you apply to specific schools within the university, such as Penn, Northwestern, Cornell, etc, is there a seperate admissions committee that overseas each college?

For example, is there a different committee that overseas applicants to Wharton then there is for applicants to the CAS or is everybody judged by the same adcoms?

And if they are all judged by the same adcoms, then when they see which school you are applying to, would they hold you to different standards? Like, would you be held to higher standards if applying to wharton vs the college?

I’m not interested in wharton or anything, I’m just curious as to how this works.
