<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am having some anxiety about how possible it is to change majors at Boston University. I would appreciate any insight in how easy it is to change majors within the College of Engineering, and what factors it is contingent on.</p>
<p>Initially I had thought that I would major in Computer Engineering, so I selected it as my "School or College or program of application" in the Common Application Supplement.</p>
<p>However, recently I've been greatly interested in Biomedical Engineering, and actually regret not selecting it as my major when I was writing my application.</p>
<p>The article from the BU website: Can</a> I Change My Major? Center for Career Development | Boston University says that changing majors is possible, but mentions the possibility of enrolling for another semester. Under what specific conditions would you have to do this? </p>
<p>Also, according to the explanation, it should be "fairly easy" if you're a freshman or sophomore. On the other hand, the Biomedical Engineering department is ranked 7th in the entire nation so I know that it must be extremely competitive - in this case is it a doomed prospect to try and change majors into BME? Is it a guarantee, is the likelihood still high, or low? </p>
<p>Is this something I can change immediately by contacting BU, right at this moment, or do I have to enroll and begin classes as a freshman before I can initiate any change? </p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this, I appreciate it a lot.</p>
