U can only apply to Engineering school - but not a specific major.

Freshman grades determine who gets their choice of major. For in demand fields like electrical engineering - the competition is fierce

Know of 2 kids who dropped out since they could only
get Civil or Environmental Engineering

quite sad. would never apply here.

So, like Purdue then.

That is true - though lots of schools have that now. My child got into Chemical Engineering which is what they wanted - I don't think it is as competitive. And Wisconsin, you get into your major but you have to have a certain GPA by 2nd year in order to be guaranteed it. Keeping above a 3.3 in engineering for a social kid is tough!

The irony of this statement originating from, presumably, someone in Washington, DC is just.... incredible.

They miswrote. The mid Atlantic is to insufferable as PNW mainly Seattle is to the freeze.
