Like, if you choose one school with a certain intended major, can you switch schools before actually attending?
For example, Columbia College vs Fu Foundation SEAS. If you apply for engineering, and get in, can you switch to Columbia College before taking any classes? Does this vary by college? What about for Vanderbilt, and the College of Arts and Sciences vs Peabody. Any response would be helpful.
This varies by institution. If your goals change after admission, contact them and ask.
Depends; in some cases, it can be more difficult if the destination division is more popular than its capacity, requiring it to have a competitive admission process. Check each school to find out.
