<p>Well, I'm not finding information on this on the TAMU website, which leads to either 1) I'm an idiot or 2)I'm an idiot.</p>
<p>I was accepted to the A&M CNS, major: Biology BS. Lets say I wanted to change my major, to either chemical engineering or petroleum engineering. How would I go about doing this? Most of the spots are probably full :/</p>
<p>Would I be able to do it? If I were to complete my first (freshman) year at TAMU, would I then be able to apply to the College of engineering?</p>
<p>I know on the website it says the spots are all taken for chem/petro/mech engineering, do you think calling up A&M and talking to some counselors might help me in changing my major?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t count on getting your major changed your first year. The majors are full and there are probley kids who are still waitlisted for those majors. Just complete a year with the classes that the freshman engineering students take (chem, calc, physics,eng) minus the foundation courses.</p>
<p>After your freshman year and you still feel like you want to pursue engineering, then apply as an internal transfer. Btw, why did you change your mind about your major?</p>
<p>Aside from being CAPPED by UT ( Thought a 2030 and ~17% would be enough, BUT NOOOOO), My cousin (@ A&M) and I had a longgg talk about the future, majors, and careers.</p>
<p>According to my cousin, if I were to pursue a BS in Biology, and were to be denied to med and pharm schools, I’d basically be screwed over. I would’ve wasted a lot of my time, and the work load is difficult in that med/pharm field. Seeing as I’ve always been good in math/physics, I’ve decided upon engineering. He is also doing it, and according to him, TAMU has a 100% graduate employment rate :D</p>
<p>Thank you sooooo much for the advice, or help. I’m going to visit TAMU weekend after spring break to speak with some counselors. If I can’t switch, I’ll just take up the required coursework (minus engineering classes) for my freshman year, then do an internal transfer :]</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation as you. If I can change my major from Bio to Petroleum Engineering, I just might attend A&M. There’s probably no more spots left in Engineering, though…</p>
<p>Thank you for the link ampzor! BUT GODDDDDDDDDDDD, what am I supposed to do now?!?! I’m hoping that sweet-talking the counselors or uber persuasion works :/</p>
<p>Spend an extra year @ TAMU? I mean, I understand taking freshman core classes, but what about the two engineering courses designated for PetroleumENG (ENGR 111 & 112)?</p>
<p>If i were to get an internal transfer to PETENG for my sophomore year, wouldn’t my other classes be useless since I haven’t taken (ENGR 111 & 112)? Are there any classes I can take that satisfy the ENGR 111&112 credits according to the PETENG program?</p>
<p>I’m going to have a longggg talk with the counselors/advisors.</p>
<p>Hey guys, i was just wondering if Texas A&M has a good Aerospace Engineering program. Ive heard that overall that it is a good Engineering school, i just wanted to know if anyone here has any knowlege about their Aero progam more specifically.</p>
<p>Javy, msg gstein. Hes an aero student that is on this board often, but he hasnt been around for a week or two. Must have been studying for mid terms. From what I know about the aero program is that its good. Its not top 10 in the nation but, its admirable and the students have good job oppurtunites.</p>
<p>user3725, ask the counselors about equivilent courses. For example, Engr 111/112 for mechanical engineering is CPSC 110, 203 or 206 (Engr 111) or ENDG 105 (Engr 112)</p>
