<p>i got in and want to transfer to the "regular school"</p>
<p>i had an email regarding this sent to the engineering dean, but no reponse...its been several days now</p>
<p>someone told me they prob won't answer before i do my deposit guaranteeing ill go there.</p>
<p>should i just enroll, and hope for the best? or wait longer...?</p>
<p>I would contact the dean. I THINK you can matriculate as normal and then just register for classes as you would for a normal liberal arts student. It's an easy process, but the LA school must formally accept you with some small ritual of some sort.</p>
<p>I was just at a Tufts info session, and one of the things that Tufts boasts is the ease in which Engineering students can transfer to Liberal Arts and vis versa. If you want to go to Tufts, Matriculate and it won't be a problem to transfer. I'm sure you can also call the main office and transfer before we get to campus in the fall.</p>
<p>As far as course selection, there's no difference between Liberal Arts and Engineering goes, so if you're not transferred by the time class selection comes, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>thank you. u relieved my tensions. I'm matricuating ASAP and will see what happens in sept. thanks a lot, and i hope to see u there i guess..</p>
<p>Yeah but you may want to wait until after you're actually enrolled in Tufts to switch from Engineering to LA (engineers can register for LA classes and LA students can register for engineering classes). The only thing I'd worry about is them revoking your acceptance. I don't think they'd be that mean, but maybe someone here would know better than I would?</p>
<p>I am currently a freshman at Tufts and just last Thursday I transferred from Engineering to LA. I just told the dean of engineering that I wanted to switch and it was very simple to transfer. She gave me a new LA advisor, who in fact, is the dean of advising for LA. </p>
<p>Final answer: Very very easy.</p>
<p>Enroll, then switch.</p>
<p>It's easy to do that. You might have to take (gasp!) an intro to engineering course, but you'll ultimately be fine. </p>
<p>In some respects, I'm giving you advice which is hard to follow - which is to enroll in engineering and then to wait a long, long time to switch. Get your deposit in, find out who your roommate is, pick out your bedspread, and don't worry until you get a mailing this summer about elective courses, which will place you into your advising group.</p>
