Obviously the easiest is college prep.....

The hardest are SSR and LAS.

My friend got into College Prep as his last choice.

Honestly dude, why do you care? And last time I checked, "seats" was plural.

Also, what do you define as hard? Because lets say you're an excellent student in English/Social Studies, then LAS and SSR would be easier for you to get into then say a student who is an excellent Science/Math/Technology student.

There is no "hardest", it depends on your grades. Typically biomed & SSR are competitive. But incase this is for the purpose of bragging or something, don't even think about it. No one cares what major you're in, civil, college prep, SSR, it's just a couple of different classes.

Hardest is based not on the requirements but rather the popularity and the # of people applying including their grades which will determine your place.

I believe that SSR and LAS have the same criteria. And if you are looking at it by number of seats open, aero and math would be some of the hardest with ~32(correct me if I am wrong) seats. However, these two majors are relatively low in demand.
