<p>I'm a Junior at a small liberal arts school that's out of state... Wanting to transfer in for the spring semester</p>
<p>I'm an in-state resident.
4.0 GPA
Chemistry/Math double major</p>
<p>I applied into the chemical engineering program.</p>
<p>I'm afraid of my chances because I have never taken an engineering class... I have all the prereqs (physics, calc I-II, linear algebra, organic, etc...). Right now I'm taking Classical Mechanics at another university and vector calculus.</p>
<p>It's been 2 weeks since I applied... Should I change my desired major online to something like applied mathematics? I'm considering this because it's less competitive that chemical engineering and I would enjoy it just as much. Will I get beat out by the transfers who have engineering classes under their belts?</p>
<p>Although transfer admissions has gotten much more competitive in the last year or so, I am still confident that you’ll get in. If you look at the course requirements page, you’ll notice certain courses are recommended but not required. None of those are engineering courses. Relax.</p>
<p>Is it silly though to apply for an engineering program coming from a non-engineering major? I’m concerned that the transfer students who are coming from engineering programs will have more of a shot… If this is the case, I’ll glady apply for applied mathematics or something</p>
<p>Yes, it’s silly to think that. They don’t care if you were an art major. Not having known you wanted to be an engineer since you were 3 is not going to be held against you.</p>
<p>Relax. Unless there’s something you’re not telling us, it is very difficult to imagine you not being admitted, especially since you’re in-state.</p>
