<p>So I recently got accepted to my first-choice major in the College of Natural Sciences. But I heard that Deans Scholars kind of sucks (plus it's really hard to get into), and that the sciences aren't that great at UT. Can anyone shed some light on this?</p>
<p>Otherwise I'm pretty sure that I want to switch my first-choice major to my original second-choice major in the College of Liberal Arts (undecided), do Plan II, and possibly apply for McCombs and BHP. Any advice? Is it even possible to switch majors easily now?</p>
<p>i was in a similar position last year. i had applied to the college of natural sciences, but decided to change my major to engineering. i called the university about my change in heart and they told me all i had to do was send them a letter stating what major i wanted to transfer into and i would be reconsidered. it really wasn't that big of a deal, but don't expect a reply until about may.</p>
<p>I was originally going to be a bio/pre-pharm major, but changed my mind VERY late during senior year. Actually, to tell you the truth, I really had no idea what I wanted to major in when I was sending in applications. I had an interest in biology, but wasn't sure if it would be a sound career path; and I wasn't about to bank my entire future on whether or not I got into pharmacy school. So after some thought, and a lot of teenage angst, I decided to major in engineering. Looking back at it the main reason why I chose engineering as my major would have to be the fact that it was challenging while still providing a relatively straight forward career path. Becoming a Bio major just presented too many "what ifs" for my liking.</p>
