[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RD doesn’t work for the hottest programs, like CS or engineering. Matriculation yield is very high for those programs. An admit is almost always a butt in chair. [/quote]

CS is in UVA’s College of Arts and Sciences even though most, maybe all, the courses are in the School of Engineering. College of Arts and Sciences does not admit by major. My DD is a second year, CS major at UVA.  No where on her application to College of Arts and Sciences was she asked what was her intended major.[/quote]
You can do CS in either A&S or the school of Engineering at UVA. [/quote]

When applying to UVA Engineering, you must write an essay about how your intended major will make a difference. This is how UVA learns about your major. You can make it up in the essay, but they will look at your high school courses and extracurricular activities for verification. For example, you may say your intended major is biological engineering. But if you did not take the hardest biology courses in high school, UVA will not take your essay seriously. Your intended major in your essay must match your own academic record. My daughter got into UVA engineering with CS as her intended major by doing many things on CS, such as coding marathons.
