<p>I was admitted to the electrical engineering program, is it possible to switch to computer engineering(the curriculum is very similar) without having to forfeit my admission spot? Should I just wait and talk to the counselor at orientation? </p>
<p>IIRC at UIUC you choose which major in your department after the first year or something. Since EE and CE are in the same department you should be fine. Even if I’m wrong, I had a friend who switched from ECE to CS in his freshman year. So if you can switch between your college, I’m fairly certain you can switch within your department.</p>
