<p>Rodney — I applied to CAS for Mathematics but was denied and granted admission into LC Smith. Would this be an easy transition since Engineering and/or Computer Science are both math intensive programs?</p>
<p>We were at SU Thurs through today for admitted student orientation. Transfers came up at a few Q&A sessions. Answer was aways the same - it depends on GPA. For very competitive programs such as Newhouse the bar is high, but for CAS math it would be lower.</p>
<p>I went through LC Smith in the 80’s. Calc I-IV was the math program through freshman/sophomore year. Can’t say it’s the same today.</p>
<p>dbrenner: what exactly did you do to transfer to CAS from human ecology? Who did you write to and what did you say? Did you specify a major?</p>
<p>Anyone else do this? I’m wondering if it’s better to wait till after May 1</p>
<p>^^there are some people that I know personally who actually waited until after they “deposited”…yes, that is an option to wait until after May 1</p>
<p>Rodney - do you think it’s better to specify a major? Or undecided?</p>
<p>ABSOLUTELY specify a major…it will be much easier for them to assess interest and availability…for example, if you were child studies in Human ec (or undecided) you could specify psychology in CAS…</p>
<p>by the way, not sure if we have “talked” about this before, but pre-requisites for both of these are basically the same for the first year…</p>
<p>so even if they don’t honor the request, you can prob transfer in after freshman year…</p>
<p>forgive me if we have already discussed this elsewhere.</p>
