Hello, I have been accepted to a 3-2 engineering program with Columbia from a liberal arts university. My question is whether the transfer to Columbia is Guaranteed? and secondly, what are your reviews on a typical 3-2 engineering program? Did it help you achieve your goals for engineering?
Thank you for answering!
The requirements you have to meet to get the guaranteed transfer are online. You can ask your college as well.
The website said: 3.30 GPA or higher, my concern is whether anyone has gone through such a program at any university and what they thought of the program as I can’t decide.
Can you afford five total years, with uncertain financial aid for the last two? Note that Columbia does not promise as much financial aid for 3+2 transfers as for frosh or other transfers.
Not just meeting the GPA. You also have to get at least a B on your first attempt in all the required science classes.
Read the 3-2 requirements on the Columbia website carefully.
Also, Columbia engineering compressed in to 2 years will be very challenging. You have to ask yourself if you’re up for it as well.
