<p>Does this automatically mean I will not be allowed to do ECE for all 4 years?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>from what i read online apparently u can transfer in after freshmen year because u dont even announce ur major until then. Can u tell me ur stats and chance me based on ur stats? Ive posted a chance thread before and I’m applying for ED II. I applied to CIT with ECE. Thanks</p>

<p>Spaghetti no big deal. Just take Intro to ECE 18100 fall (if there’s a spot) or else in the spring.</p>
<p>You may not even want to be ECE after the course.</p>
<p>There are still spots for ECE end of freshman year when you declare - which you can do at that time.
You are not locked out at all.</p>
<p>Random- nice job hijacking someone else’s thread.
Does it matter what a bunch of CC strangers tell you? If we said no chance, would you reconsider your application? Chance threads are stupid. For what it’s work IMHO your Physics and Comp Sci AP scores are awful and your GPA is really too low and I would say you have no (not even low) chance for ECE - and a low chance for CIT. But you never know.</p>
<p>@CMUGUY - I’m undecided in engineering right now and don’t specifically want to do ECE. I just don’t like the idea of going into the school knowing that if I happen to like ECE, I might be barred from majoring in it. Glad to know that’s not true, thanks for the help :)</p>
<p>Congrats Spaghetti!
just as cmuguy said, you are completely open to go into ece or even out of CIT altogether. </p>
<p>I remember the visit with my son to one of those admissions panel talks at a campus visit and this one student shared how he changed his major THREE times. It was eye opening! Basically you know you ended up in a tech school for a reason and you’ll discover that soon enough.</p>
<p>If you look at the curriculum for any of the MCS, CIT or CS freshman- there is incredible overlap of science, freshman english, a math course and programming (not really CS) courses in the freshman curriulum. So you can move into or out of any of these three schools or transfer into HSS really easily. An entire year in MCS, CIT or CS into HSS would satisfy the tech requirements and leave plenty of time for an HSS major (IS is sometimes the CS fall back major). Tepper - a bit tougher to enter-- few spaces open up at all. But a business minor is very easy.
About the only thing that is too limiting to pick up easily would be a transfer into ArchE, Drama or music- -not even sure transfers are possible with those at all. You can minor in music, art etc. very easily-- there’s even a music tech minor.</p>
<p>Fineartsmom can weigh in on these options for internal or external transfers.</p>

ok…some critism is better than nothing.</p>
<p>First of all, congrats Spaghetti!! Second, you will not have a problem at all if you ever want to major in ECE. I am an ECE freshman this year and my advisor told us that for the past six years no one has ever been denied from switching to ECE within CIT, regardless of what the admission letters said. They keep the restriction simply beacuse they fear more people would transfer to ECE if they remove it but that has never happened. There are always spots for people who wish to switch majors. </p>
<p>Just take 18-100 Intro to ECE in the fall (I heard the one in spring is slightly easier than the one in the fall) and see if you like it or not. And again welcome to CMU!</p>
<p>what if you get into HSS but not CS, but you want to be a CS major - then what?</p>
<p>A bit more creativity ?! -you can find this on the CMU webpage I hope:</p>

<p>You don’t have a spot and have to “apply” which means take 122, 150 and 251 before they will look at you.</p>

<p>Thanks! It all sounds so risky though - if you don’t do well enough, or they don’t have room, you’re kinda screwed…</p>
