[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the Jeff Seligo book eye-opening. Some of it I already knew, but it never occurred to me how much a kid’s chosen major could factor into the admissions decision. I’m glad my senior DC didn’t want to major in STEM! 😁[/quote] This is not our experience. DC has wanted to do engineering since 8th grade. Never even thought about how much more competitive applying to E schools would be. Got into all of the state (Michigan, UIUC, UVA, etc) flagships, T10 and T20. Rejected by MIT and Columbia. Good stats, SAT north of 1500 but not over 1550. I guess ignorance is bliss. DC would’ve been much more stressed if knowing how stiff the engineering competition actually is. [/quote]
