CoE to L & S

[JexteLox]

<p>After one semester (assuming first semester), what's the difficulty of transferring from CoE to L & S? Currently taking E7 (intro to comp programming) and it is kicking my butt (and is boring alongside with that), and there's no way I can imagine myself doing this anymore on a frequent basis, and now I'm more interested towards a Bio/Chem (pre-med) major. What do they look at when considering the transfer ? What is the general acceptance rate?
I know they look at:</p>

<p>GPA for that semester,
personal essay that you write explaining your reason for transferring out of CoE,
units (if more than 60),</p>

<p>Transferring out of CoE shouldn’t be a problem; it’s vice versa that most people need to worry about. Colleges like CoE and CoC–people “drop out” into L&S really easily. (Not to say that all people who leave such majors are forced out–some just realize it’s not for them and are happier elsewhere.) </p>

<p>Don’t worry. Just fill out the paperwork. I’m sure your GPA won’t be so horrible that L&S will deny you admission. If you’re worried about doing badly, you could change your classes to P/NP. I know someone who left CoC recently. He had three P/NP classes (chem 112, physics 7B, math 53) and one humanities class for letter grade that semester.</p>

<p>E7 is not representative of any non-CS engineering course. If I were you, I’d stick with it just a little bit longer </p>

<p>To answer your question, going from CoE–>L&S is just a matter of signing papers, mostly. Don’t stress over it.</p>

<p>Edit: Actually, for that matter, E7 is not representative of any CS course either…</p>

<p>E7 is pretty tame for a programming course, though I can imagine how it might be difficult if you don’t have any programming experience. The lectures are probably the most inefficient way I can imagine to learn new material.</p>

<p>The programming in E7 is not that bad, its the math that gets tricky.</p>
