<p>The website hints that it's significantly difficult, but has anyone had personal experience with it? If so, what are some things that I should do Freshman year to make my transfer changes a bit better?</p>
<p>I knew a few people who wanted to transfer into AEM this past year. Basically, internal transfers have to take certain courses (1200 in spring is one of them) in order to even be eligible. That’s all I can tell you, though. This coming from a person who was a first-year AEM student, no less. :|</p>
<p>transferring into AEM/Dyson is much easier than getting in as a HS senior, but i wouldnt say it’s a piece of cake… business/internship experience and a strong interest help</p>
<p>Take the minimum prereqs to transfer AND if you can fit in more AEM classes, try to add 1-2 more than the minimum requirements to transfer (that’s what I did). The more classes you can have under your belt, the better (with good grades of course). Prereqs + good grades + a passionate essay + a bit of luck might just do it 
Also try to get involved on campus…they want to see leadership roles + internships. Everyone I spoke with in the AEM department (including my professor) always said that transferring to AEM is difficult. I am not sure of how hard/easy it is to get into AEM, but I worked hard and I was accepted to switch my major. I did not have any internships, but I did have a few leadership roles that I was able to talk about in my essay. </p>
<p>Also during one of the info sessions, they hinted that they would prefer a sophomore transfer over a freshman (assuming that they both completed the prereqs), since a freshmen will have one more year to apply. In my opinion, if you take more classes than the prereqs, you will stand out regardless of being a freshman or a sophomore. Good luck!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how hard it is to transfer into AEM if I am currently a student in the College of Engineering? I’m hoping to take the AEM courses during my second semester of freshman year, and apply at the end of freshman year.</p>
