<p>Me, being overjoyed that I would be able to go to UIUC, my top choice school, might have made a giant mistake. I accepted my DGS offer to go to UIUC after being declined for engineering. I know its still possible to transfer into the Engineering but I really would love to stay. I really have no idea what to do and I have a feeling I've made possibly the worse mistake of my life by accepting the offer to DGS without thinking. I already have my financial aid and finished my housing application. What do you guys think I should try to do? Should I stay two years and try to get a great GPA or transfer out my first year. I feel really terrible and the anxiety is killing me.</p>
<p>I think you have to go to illinois at this point, bc other colleges may not be able to take you for next fall.</p>
<p>Try to transfer into engineering, worst comes to worst you can transfer to any engineering college you want (within reason) down the road.</p>
<p>NO need to sweat. GO TO UIUC for 2 years. Apply to the engineering department and other universities. If you get in great, if you don’t just choose the other university.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. I was in the same situation but with the College of Business. Well, I didn’t even apply to Business and just did DGS. Regretted it after but I worked my butt off freshman year and successfully transferred in! Same thing could happen to you with Engineering. Just be optimistic but have a back-up plan, whether it’s a different major or transferring to a another school, in case.</p>
