Advice: Transferring from business program to engineering. (chances?)

Transfer Students

<p>Hi. Currently a sophomore enrolled at Boston College. I am in the honors business program, finance major, and also trying to pick up a second major in biochemistry. For various reasons I have decided to transfer to an engineering school and narrow my focus (can elaborate if needed). In all likelihood I'll end up at UMass and just save myself the money. However, my grades haven't been too bad in my time here so for curiosity's sake I was wondering if any of you could give me an idea of what sort of engineering programs I could realistically transfer into. (such as, MIT, UC's, Carnegie Mellon...etc). </p>

<p>College:
3.68 gpa overall with 53 weighted credits (and several overloads which BC does not factor into gpa)
However, last semester i had a 3.86 while taking 21 credits with a rather rigorous courseload, something I'm proud of.
As mentioned before, I was also on track to complete a biochemistry major so I do have strong grades in calculus, bio, general chemistry, organic chemistry and their respective labs.
Extracurriculars in college include mainly the EMT club which I have actually gotten involved with. Part of a few other clubs but hold no notable positions.</p>

<p>Highschool:
2180 SAT, math 2 800, bio 760, chemistry 780, us history 770 (would these even matter at this point?)
4.3/5.0 gpa.
various AP's etc</p>

<p>Thanks for any advice/suggestions.</p>

<p>Engineering majors should have completed the following by the end of their second year:</p>

<p>Math: calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations (typically two years; may be compressed at some elite schools). “Calculus for biology and business majors” is typically not accepted.</p>

<p>Physics: mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism (typically a year), perhaps additional course(s) in modern physics. “Physics for biology majors” is typically not accepted.</p>

<p>Additional science like chemistry and/or biology, depending on the major (e.g. chemistry and organic chemistry for a chemical engineering major).</p>

<p>Engineering statics, materials, electronics, and/or computing, depending on the major.</p>

<p>Computer science for electrical or computer engineering majors.</p>

<p>Some humanities and social studies for breadth requirements, including reading and writing courses.</p>
