<p>I know SLO is notorious for difficulty in changing majors, but I kinda discovered that too late.</p>
<p>I originally put MATHEMATICS as my choice major, and I got accepted last week.</p>
<p>Of course, engineering majors are the most impressive major at SLO, which is also my field of interest. </p>
<p>(I though mathematics and applied math would be great for engineering, but I heard its better just to go with a pure engineering major, since mathematics is more for actuaries, bankers, etc.)</p>
<p>So now I want to change my major as an incoming freshman. I e-mailed the departments and they sent me the website of what to do, but I’m still confused. For anyone familiar, please help me with these questions!</p>
<p>Math and Engineering are in two separate departments, which makes it even more difficult to switch in. The prerequisite for those switching in are:</p>
<p>Math 141, Chem 124, CSC/CPE 101, Math 142, Phys 141, EE 111, EE 151, Math 143, and Phys 133. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Say if I was originally a ME major, would these be the SAME classes I would be taking when I enter college? Or are these classes just evaluation for those changing majors, thus putting me behind other ME majors?</p></li>
<li><p>How long does the process take?</p></li>
<li><p>If I get a 2.75+ GPA with the courses, is there still a chance I would get rejected from a popular major like ME? (Which would be disappointing if you do get rejected.)</p></li>
