Engineering majors usually put schools in a different category. When we made our list, target schools started looking like reaches solely due to the major.
Most of the top public engineering programs admit by major, and there can be significant differences in the admitted student profile for each school or major within a university. People often quote the overall acceptance rate and admitted student profile for the entire college, when in reality engineering and other high-demand majors might require significantly higher GPAs, more rigorous coursework, and higher test scores. Even for test-optional schools, there's generally a preference for test scores among engineering applicants.[/quote]
