The best approach is to always go by assist, especially with a highly selective major such as EE. Admissions will make any alternate determination on its own, if applicable. I think for any student, especially an OOS applicant, to try and put that in as fulfilling something when all public signs say it doesn’t and when it is clearly not the protocol, is not the best advice. OP has those two math courses that fulfill other areas. If admissions wishes to apply them in additional ways, that’s their call, not the OP’s. That’s just my concern here, giving out info that could be wrong — or worse, harmful to applicant. It’s not even a necessary thing to do. It’s not altering anything.
