However both have generally 50-60 people every year.
I'm guessing thats not what you meant by your post but I've seen a lot of "easy engineering program" posts on here and they all generally revert to "well so and so has such-and-such admission average, so it MUSt be harder."
end rant.

I...don't know of anyone who thinks Eng Phys is an easy department.
With respect to the bolded portion, I'm currently under the impression that level II Eng Phys students are either i) "stupid" since it was their last choice and couldn't get into anything else, or ii) "smart", since they knew what they were getting into and are prepared for it.
...Though Society is pretty easy so far. It's true I've only experienced a year of it, but I can't imagine it becoming anywhere near as difficult as my technical courses.
But yeah, anyone who's said any Engineering program was actually "easy" probably either meant they considered it easy just because they were interested in it, it appealed to them, or they happened to make sense of it. No one could ever truthfully say that any Eng program is universally "easy".
