Yeah I wish they would break it down by actual majors- because that’s ultimately what the decision is based on.

I noticed on the application that they didn’t allow students to select psychology as a second choice major (same with computer science, engineering and business) which was surprising to me. So I would guess it must be highly selective. Did she pick a second choice major or division of general studies on her application?

Thanks for the insight! No- she’d rather go somewhere else than choose a different major.

That makes sense. I think that she likely would have gotten in to the Division of General Studies which they only offer to in-state kids but I don’t know if she could have transferred into psychology if it’s an impacted major there.

They are not looking at anymore grades, no letters. What is the point of Deferring, Is it just creating more competition between EA and RD kids. This is such a sad situation.
