I got accepted into Purdue under the category of a first year engineering student and in U-Dub under the general admit category. Now I am confused because I have heard about the competitiveness in U-Dub but have also heard about its prestigious and amazing computer science program. Please help me!!
Does general admit mean you are in the CS major from the start?
No, it means I am going without any particular major.
Purdue appears to be less difficult to get into the CS major than Washington:

Cost differences, and do they matter?
