Changing Majors

<p>I wasn't planning on going to Ithaca so I was not that concerned when I wasn't accepted into my first choice major but I have a pretty strong gut feeling I am about to get rejected from my first and second choice school so I'm starting to reconsider. Does anyone know if it is difficult to transfer majors? Would I have to wait until I enrolled or after a few semesters etc? I applied for Film/TV and was accepted into Politics, ideally I would like to either double major in both or major in Film, minor in Politics. Also, Ithaca is the only college I haven't visited, would seeing it help give me an idea if I'd like it?</p>

<p>same thing with me! i was accepted to exploratory, not cinema and photography. but now i'm thinking of doing organizational comm. i called ithaca and they said it WOULD be difficult to transfer to the park school, you would need a gpa "as close to 4.0 as possible." she also recommended applying for a transfer at the end of your first semester.</p>

<p>i would definitely visit, get a tour, etc. i'm about to do an overnight visit. seeing the campus is really helpful since you can ask yourself "hm can i see myself here?" it's very beautiful too.</p>

<p>I think I'm going to go ahead and play it by ear, I'm trying to take this whole experience as "divine intervention". I was starting to think film might not be right for me anyways, I wonder if it's hard to get into film classes? I really do want to go to Ithaca so I think I'm just going to go and play it by ear.</p>

<p>I'm visiting next week so I'm really excited, I've heard it's so beautiful!</p>

<p>It's really hard to transfer into Park at Ithaca. You'll need to do real well.</p>

<p>I'm an exploratory student currently, and four of my good friends applied at the end of our freshman year to get into Park, one for TVR and the other three for C&P. C&P is significantly harder to get into, whereas TVR is one of the more accessible majors. You need a high GPA, and should probably see if you can get into some Park classes (if you can, they're had to swing if you're not in the department). Also, there are a few things up here that are film-related that you could be involved in. One of my friends won a film fest up here, and it probably really helped his chances. Overall, it's not easy, but not impossible to transfer into Park.</p>

<p>TVR? C&P? what are these. I'm not up on all the abbreviations</p>
