Changing my major

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgia Institute of Technology

<p>So I messed up big time. I applied to Tech EA and was accepted, but I did not look carefully enough and put my major as Economics. I was intending to go to the business school (Scheller) but I didn't realize that you had to put your major as "Business Administration"... so right now I'm stuck in Ivan Allen.</p>

<p>I went to the change of major page, but the options it gave me did not include Business Administration. I already emailed them last week and still have not received a reply. Is there any chance that I'll be able to switch into Scheller before freshman year begins? If so, how and where (I heard that you can during Freshman Orientation)? Or is there a limit on how many students are accepted? I'm really worried about this, as I do not want to go to Tech's liberal arts school. :|</p>

<p>I thought they had on the website that they didn’t look at your major when deciding on whether to admit or not.</p>

<p>You can change it at orientation - no problem. They are not that rigid. I think you even get one easy change during Freshman year.</p>

<p>Hello OP, can you please share the url of the Major change page? We are also hoping to request a major change.</p>

<p>Changing your major here is not hard at all-- tons of kids change during their first, second, and even third years. I’m a Tech student, and all of my roommates have changed their major at least once. Don’t stress. Congrats on your acceptance!</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies everyone! I’ve got it sorted out now. Emailed the admissions office and got it fixed, so I believe I’m in Scheller now. :)</p>

<p>@akp123, sorry for the late reply, but here is how I did it:

  1. Log into BuzzPort account
  2. Scroll down to “Application Quick View” and click “Application Details”
  3. Scroll down to “Application Information” and click “Notify Undergraduate Admission”
    The place to request a major change will be at the bottom of the page.</p>
