<p>I always understood it was difficult to change majors at impacted schools. If you think about it, this makes sense precisely because of getting in with lower qualifications than the school you applied to in the first place. Engineering is extremely competitive - it should not necessarily (in my opinion) be that easy to get in if you got into a different college with lower stats. That is somewhat unfair to other qualified students who knew right away that they wanted to be in engineering, but were declined. Two quarters erasing your entire high school record does not seem equitable to me. That’s not even one full year of college. One or two YEARS maybe…granted, if you came is as an English major and switched to engineering, you might have trouble with taking the basic prerequisites, but then again - they fill the school in a balanced fashion to allow students to get the courses they need to graduate. If too many people take courses supporting a major they are not enrolled for, then it displaces other kids. Just wait - at some point you are going to need a class that is full and it will really annoy you when you can’t register because it is full.</p>
<p>By the way, I thought Agriculture had science majors in it…</p>
<p>However, I do agree with the advice - call the college and find out how it works. You should get a straight and accurate answer from them. You might try to reach someone in the Engineering college - I know for some schools, transferred majors are subject to the approval of the department granting the degree.</p>
