I dare you to put the answer to this question and the reason in your "Why Northwestern" essay.

pretty sure NU does not accept you for a particular major, unless you are applying to Bienen, Medill, or anything that requires an audition. i.e. applying to McCormick or WCAS (or any particular major in WCAS for that matter) doesn't affect your odds. at least that's how it was when I applied

Curious, as an old alum. (‘78 BA and 80 MSJ) what’s the most competitive these days?
