What if too many qualified students apply for the same department?
When the number of students applying exceeds a department's capacity, students' overall GPA and other factors will be considered — see College of Engineering Regulation 3b. This clause is rarely invoked, but programs such as biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and computer engineering may have an excess of qualified students in the future.
