Does Your Major Affect Admission Chances?

Yes, at many schools. Some colleges admit by major or college, so competitive programs like CS or engineering can be harder to enter than the school overall.

Often yes. Impacted majors (CS, engineering, nursing, business) can be far more selective than the university as a whole.
