<p>I don’t really understand what you’re asking. The Ivies offer tons of majors, concentrations, and programs and they’re all selective.</p>

3

<p>Your life is doomed if you do not go to an Ivy League, little know fact.</p>

<p>^^ That’s the motto lived by many CC’ers…</p>

<p>The OP is asking about those majors which you have to apply for separately, once you’re already a student. </p>

<p>Yale: Creative Writing (a concentration within the English major), Architecture</p>

<p>Fiancial Engineering at Clolumbia SEAS and Creative Writing in Columbia’s College (i think)</p>

<p>coolman123, I think the OP was clear but I was referring to majors/programs/concentrations that you have to apply and be accepted to once you are a students that actually rejects people or honors type programs for freshmen applicants (i.e. Huntsman in Wharton; BME at JHU would be an example if it were an Ivy…).</p>

<p>You don’t apply to Huntsman once you are a student at Wharton… You apply as a high schooler. I am not sure what you’re saying.</p>

<p>yeah the Penn ones listed are special programs that you must specifically apply to BEFORE you are in the school. </p>

<p>Some majors do have a more aggressive set of prerequisites than others. For example, the IR major requires several classes and a minimum GPA in them, as well as a minimum cumulative GPA, and an interview with an IR dept member to be admitted into the major.</p>

<p>Other majors like communications require, um, a pulse… And that can be waived through your advisor</p>
