If your doing CompSci, you need to ask yourself what types of classes you want to be taking outside of the core reqs.

The program core for both CS-LSA and CS-Eng are the same. For the most part, you will be taking the same classes at the same time with the CompSci engineering students.

LSA requires you to learn a language and a upper level writing course. In my opinion, this is the biggest difference. Learning a language requires a lot of non computer related work to succeed. At Engineering, outside of the core reqs, you focus more on critical thinking/problem solving classes.

You should apply to the program you want.
