Some schools admit by major and/or department, which can really make a difference stats wise. I am trying to find some information that allows us to figure out if the major D wants is the most or least competitive at the prospective school.
For example, VT posts the information by College: https://irweb.ir.vt.edu/webtest/FreshmenSummary.aspx
I know UMD-CP admits first to the overall school and then each College.
We are looking mostly at larger public schools and was wondering if anyone has come across this information for other schools.
SJSU admits by major, and publishes the thresholds by major after each admission cycle:

For example, for frosh entry in fall 2018, the computer science major required an eligibility index of 4725, while the applied math major required an eligibility index of 2950 (for in-state residents). The eligibility index is GPA * 800 + SATRW + SATM (GPA from 10th-11th grade academic courses with up to 8 semesters of +1 honors points, SAT is super scored).
For transfer entry in fall 2018, the computer science major required five prerequisites for the major completed and a 3.50 GPA, while the applied math major required minimum transfer eligibility (course requirements and 2.00 GPA for in-state residents).
