General Engineering

If you are admitted to general engineering when will we be able to go into our specific major?

?

Pretty sure you apply at the end of freshman year. A 3.0 guarantees your first choice decision.

Suppose one does not do well during freshman year, then what happens?

Will there be always a possibility of getting into some Engineering Major

Be sure to read the requirements on the VT engineering carefully
