<p>Hello. I want to major in Astronomy. But less than a handful of colleges and universities offer said course, and even less than that in my area (NYC). I was wondering if I could, say, enroll in a school not offering my major for the time-being and later transfer to one that does. The reason I ask this is because, as of now, my chances for the schools offering my major aren't as high as one would expect, given my deep interest for Astronomy. I request urgent responses from anyone who would like to assist me in this sensitive situation. Thank you.</p>
<p>If you can’t get in now, why do you expect to be able to get in after a set of difficult math and physics prerequisites in college? An astronomy major involves a lot of math and physics, and you can’t wait until you’ve transferred to start them.</p>
<p>But I don’t start my actual major until my junior year (in most cases). Isn’t it possible for me to maintain a high gpa and then transfer to another school?</p>
<p>Potential problem is that you may need pre requisites that you would have taken prior. Check that.</p>
<p>Yes. I’ve been told that not all classes may transfer over. But if I’m willing to re-take some classes, can I transfer? And can I do it within two years of enrollment in a school?</p>
