<p>is that possible? does it take a lot of work/effort/convincing with Columbia admission officers? (I'm talking about after being accepted, and then attending Columbia for a while)</p>
<p>Columbia actually has a 3 year/2 year program where you can go to CC for 3 years and then go to SEAS for 2 years and get two degrees. You apply to CC like normal then apply for this your junior year. There is another that goes the other way too. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.engineering.columbia.edu/admissions/cp/%5B/url%5D">http://www.engineering.columbia.edu/admissions/cp/</a></p>
<p>Oh that's good. I was actually contemplating whether I should apply to Columbia or not because I didn't want to bind myself in case I changed my mind, but it's good to know that if I do want to get into engineering, then I have a chance.</p>
