<p>I applied for SCS as my first choice and MCS as my second. I didn't get into SCS, but I did get into MCS. How easy is it to transfer to SCS once you've gotten there? If needed my second choice major was Mathematics.</p>
<p>hahah im interested in that as well.. got waitlisted at tepper and got in HSS</p>
<p>SCS and Tepper are harder to transfer into than HSS and MCS. That's just about the extent of my knowledge.</p>
<p>If you're majoring in Economics at H&SS it recently became part of Tepper.</p>

<p>um.. but then i got in econ for hss???</p>
<p>edit:
ok i got the answer</p>
<p>"Now, students wanting admission into the economics department apply to H&SS as they have in the past. They remain H&SS students upon admission, until they are able to declare an economics major halfway through their second semesters. Once students have declared an economics major, they technically become students of both H&SS and Tepper. Faculty members in H&SS remain in charge of the students? general education requirements, while those in Tepper are put in charge of the economics program."</p>
<p>You can transfer as early as Freshman year of Spring Semester and then each semester after that until your junior year when it becomes very hard to do so unless you've taken all the required classes.</p>
<p>If i applied for an internal transfer after freshman year, would the adcom ONLY look at my freshman year gpa, or my high school stuff too?</p>
<p>College GPA only.</p>
<p>Bumping my post to the top.</p>
<p>Could I transfer from CIT to Tepper?:) That was a serious question.</p>
<p>Yes.
Although you probably meant to ask "how hard is it to transfer" from CIT to Tepper, in which case i don't know the answer.</p>
<p>Hmmm, thats a worry. Cuz Im still not sure if engineering's the thing for me. The way people describe it, it sounds like engineers don't get time to do anything...I really can't work that hard. </p>
<p>If there are any Carnegie trainee engineers out there- say if I wanted to play soccer or go out on the weekends, would I have time or is that laughable?</p>
<p>Havaldaar. That is not true at all. Engineers have just as much free time as other majors. CMU is not THAT hard and don't listen to all the rumors (Tepper isn't so easy). </p>
<p>Pick your major on YOUR interests instead of a perceived easy/hard scale. My engineering friends work just as hard as me and I actually have a more time consuming schedule (with my double major). Please read the social life thread for some REAL answers :)</p>
<p>Thanks, I have got Engineering undecided, so maybe Ill try out all possibilites.</p>
