The wau OSU does it is like Purdue. It’s nice because you get to choose after you have a better foundation. The risk is getting locked out. I can’t help but think that if most Purdue students get their first choice that most OSU students wouldn’t too.

Among the many schools that do it this way, the difficulty to get into specific majors varies. For example, Pittsburgh and Michigan only require 2.0 GPA and C grades. But some majors at Texas A&M are unlikely to let in many students who do not reach the auto admit GPA of 3.5.

The difficulty is based on the department capacity versus number of interested students.
