Perhaps you didn't mean it the way it sounds, but I find your comment about "Mickey Mouse" majors to be offensive. You could have simply continued your original phrasing and referenced the engineering/hard science majors without using such a pejorative term regarding other programs of study.

As far as top 20 schools go, I think most of them have Rush in the Winter.

The grade issue at some schools may not be an issue if the university does not grade differently from school to school. Here, it is an issue.

Tier I schools, Tier I sororities, and now Tier I majors... Should come as no surprise!
