With Good reason. They are gamed heavily. Purdue a few years ago gave away ipods and itunes downloads if you just applied to the university, boom that makes them more selective in their acceptance because ton of people now have applied that couldn't get in. Some Universities are accepting "provisional" students, which are regular students but the University lists them as provisional so their acceptance standards are higher.

Just research the university you want to go to, visit it and judge for yourself. If it looks easy it problem isn't that good of a program.

Also if you want to go into engineering take some damn english classes. We instituted a writing exam as part of our interview process, if you fail that you fail the interview.
