[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my husband and I applied years and years ago to small colleges in the Boston area we did NOT declare a major. Colleges weren't admitting by major, correct? .[/quote]

Even then, it really depended on what subject one was planning to study.  Your experience was typical for someone who was NOT interested in degrees in either architecture, business, engineering, or nursing.

Even way way back, when my grandparents went to college, many decades ago, at least Engineering and Nursing were in separate schools, with separate admissions requirements, separate admission pools, and so forth.  In that time, one had to apply EITHER to the “general” college, OR to Engineering school, OR to Nursing school.

Here at Lake Wobegon, I mean DCUM, many many students specifically only want to get STEM degrees.  Science and math might be offered in a “general” school of a university, but engineering will be in a separate school (as always).  CS is in huge demand nationwide and is increasingly difficult to get into.[/quote]
