<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I've got in Georgia Tech for Electrical Engineering and Imperial for Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I had applied for ECE at CMU, but I got waitlisted. However they have given me a waitlist in all programs at CIT except ECE.</p>
<p>So I was hoping on accepting the priority waitlist and then getting into CIT. And then transfer to ECE. Is that possible and what will be my chances to transfer to ECE if I get in CIT??</p>
<p>I'm asking because I don't want to have a situation where I get into CIT, but don't get into ECE. I do not mind studying my ass off if needed to get in to ECE.. lol. And plus priority waitlist is binding, so I will HAVE to go IF i get in.</p>
<p>Also, which would you guys suggest to be the best overall? CMU or Gtech or Imperial??</p>
<p>I know Imperial has like a great name, but the course is for 3 years and I'm not sure about the job opportunities/internships etc. Because atleast in the UK, there isn't much scope for electronics. I've studied for 10 years in London, and the atmosphere seems kinda dull, so US would be a great change.</p>
<p>CMU and GTech both have great co-op programs and internships are also great. I've heard that job opportunities are also amazing at both.</p>
<p>So right now I have to make a decision. If I choose CMU, I will have to go and there is no turning back. If I choose Imperial I might miss out on the great internship and job opportunities. So which University should I choose??</p>
<p>I’ll clear this out first. I’m an incoming freshman as well, and by no means a current student. I’ve seen so many threads about transferring into different colleges at CMU, and here’s what I have gotten so far. </p>
<p>It’s certainly possible to try to transfer later on, but there is no guarantee. You could work extremely hard and get the best grades you possibly can, but if they cannot afford any places into ECE for transfers, you might not be able to. They probably won’t rule it out first, but like I said there is no guarantee and it would be a risk. </p>
<p>Like a current student (forgot whom) said, if you choose CMU, choose it because you are happy and willing to graduate with the major you are selecting from day 1. Because if you are not successful for whatever reason in changing major, you might regret not choosing a college which could have offered you a place in what interests you from the beginning. </p>
<p>Also, you mentioned you got waitlisted for CIT. Did you get waitlisted for ECE and accepted to other majors within CIT OR
rejected to ECE and waitlisted to all the other majors within CIT?</p>
<p>I assume it’s the 1st case, but correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>CMU wrote in the decision letter that they do not offer waitlists to anyone for ECE. So I’ve been waitlisted instead at all other majors within CIT except ECE.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s the only thing bugging me 
I don’t wanna do any other major besides ECE…</p>
<p>Imperial actually offers both a 3-year BEng and a 4-year MEng in EE. Most students nowadays choose the 4-year option, which is a requirement I believe for Chartered Engineer status in the UK. EE btw is the only engineering option for which a 3-year degree is still offered at Imperial. All other engineering degrees are 4-year courses only.</p>
<p>BTW, having lived in Pittsburgh for 5 years, I can assure it is infinitely “duller” than London, not to mention colder.</p>
<p>Yeah there is, but its kinda a confusing thing. Because the 3year BEng is a proper undergrad course. However the 4year MEng is not a proper Masters, its supposed to be like higher than a bachelors and lower than a masters. So the reason I didn’t opt for it was that its not exactly a proper masters course, and in the US it may not be highly regarded. I know it is well regarded in Europe, but not exactly in the US…</p>
<p>BUMP!</p>
<p>Any more views on which one I should pick??</p>
