CIT Priority Waitlist excluding ECE?

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was offered a spot on CIT's priority waitlist. However, they say "we do not anticipate any wait list openings in Electrical and Computer Engineering" and am technically on the waitlist for every major in the department except ECE.</p>

<p>Just wondering, is it possible to switch into ECE later? Majors aren't declared until the end of freshman year, so if my performance is outstanding and space opens up, is that a possibility?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>EDIT: I would be fine doing another engineering major if it's not possible, just ECE is my preferred choice and really what I want to do at CMU.</p>

<p>I also like to know. I am in the same boat as you.</p>

<p>You are exactly right–if your performance is outstanding you should be able to declare ECE after first semester.</p>

<p>That’s what happened to me!
I got off the waitlist and was a restricted CIT admit (everything but ECE)…long story short, now I’m an ECE major. Take intro to ECE in Fall and get at least a B in it/show interest</p>
