My sister who is in business at UT Austin told me that some people apply into easier majors and then transfer into the schools that they might not have gotten into. For example, instead of applying into business or engineering, someone applies to communications or education in order to get into the school. Then, after a semester or a year they will request to transfer into the harder majors like business and engineering.
Is this a wise thing to do? I know for a fact that at UT Austin I won’t get into something like engineering, but UT is my dream school. My sister says that people transfer all the time and its not a difficult thing to do. So, would you recommend doing so?
