Statistics show a difference admission range in ACT & SAT for LSA or CoE though.

The acceptance rate for last year was 2012 was 36% in CoE and 39% in LS&A. The only released test scores statistics for the two colleges is that the median accepted ACT score in CoE (2012) was a 32, and the median enrolled ACT score was 30 in LS&A during the same year (which means they are probably a maximum of 1 point apart when comparing the same parameter). When looking at GPA’s though, LS&A actually had a slightly higher average at 3.90 compared to 3.87 for the College of Engineering.

The admissions differences between the two colleges is negligible at best. A student who is comparing LS&A and CoE should only choose which to apply based on which they like more. Any other advice is bad advice.

For the OP, I would recommend taking a look at the requirements for the separate programs. They are actually quite different.
