<p>Imma make this short.
So I got accepted to Drexel for fall 2012 with a 10G scholarship, right?
The thing is, back in the day when I applied, I selected the "co-op bachelor in poli sci"
Now I don't want that, I wanna major in mech engineering. Is it a big deal? Would I lose my scholarship if I transferred majors? Who do I contact about that?
I'd totally appreciate any help</p>
<p>I would suggest calling admissions they should be able to help you.</p>
<p>I also have gone through the same thing except that I changed my major from chemistry to chemical engineering.Just give the admission office a call,request to speak to your academic advisor DIRECTLY.he/she will ask u whether u have taken physics and calculus,just to be sure u are ready for “engineering”,and if u are qualified within 1-2 days ur updated acceptance letter will be sent to u by the director.One thing I am relly wondering about how u were interested in polisci and now ENGINEERING?!!!these are 2 dichotmous fields man,my advice to u DONT RUSH!!!take ur time to discover what is exactly engineering.review the courses taken,u will go into very detalied study,also be sure ur decision doesnot involve anything about"estimated future salary" study what u will thrive in.YOU NEVER KNOW how the future will be like!!!</p>
<p>Ohhh,by the way the scholarship value DOES NOT change when changing majors.The scolarship value is not determined by colleges.what u got will always be the same or may be more if u send appeal,but NEVER less.</p>
<p>Hey! </p>
<p>I ran into the same problem as you, except I had initially marked down ‘computer science,’ and wanted to switch into ‘information systems.’</p>
<p>All it took was a call to my guidance counselor, who you can reach through calling admissions. Not only did he change my major for me, he filled me in on exactly what each different major entailed so I could be sure I was making the right decision. It was extremely easy.</p>
<p>After he changes it, you’ll get another acceptance-type letter in the mail, same scholarship and everything - just a different major listed. </p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>@sherifahmed: it’s not like I woke up one morning and decided I wanna take on engineering…
& no, it has nothing to do with my “likeliness to score a good job”, I mean, seriously, female engineers hardly have any future
(MIT female graduates themselves face sexism in the workplace)
That said, I actually love math n physics. & I could kind of prove it thru my scores (perfect scores in math, very high in physics)
But I also have a knack for politics (hello, I live in EGYPT). last summer, I had a full scholarship to a cultural meeting in Istanbul…
So after talking to a plenty of people who walked both ways, I decided I really din’t wanna pursue a career in politics.
Anyhow, thanks for bothering to reply, and Imma call the admission office today.</p>
