Selection for Undergrad
Majors* for 2005
|
| Freshman applicants compete to be
selected only against other freshman applicants applying for
the same major through a point-based evaluation of four academic
categories and one non-academic category. The five categories
are weighted differently for different colleges/majors and
combine to provide a final result used in conjunction with
other applicants applying for that major. |
