Any response that doesn't lost intended major is completely unhelpful.

Some schools have more capacity for chemical engineering than others

Geez. Sorry. That stinks. No offense to Penn State, but your kid deserves better. Does Yale only count legacy if ED?

A “shoe in”? Seriously? For schools that literally get hundreds of thousands of applications for just a few thousand spots?

Aside from Penn State, did he apply to any other schools that aren't highly rejective?

Potentially. Luckily he really likes Penn State and is happy to go there. Part of the reason he only applied to a few other schools. We were a bit shocked though!
