<p>How hard is it to transfer from Engineering to the normal college and vice versa? Do you have to wait a year? If so, is there a GPA requirement?</p>
<p>Also, is it hard to transfer from Trinity to Pratt BME?</p>
<p>Pratt to Trinity = Free Transfer
Trinity to Pratt = Need decent/good grades, not explicitly stated</p>
<p>You need to wait a year to officially transfer, however you can start taking classes in the other school, assuming you convince your dean that you are dead set on transferring.</p>
<p>Also you transfer into Pratt or Trinity, NOT into a major.</p>
<p>Why is it harder to transfer from Trinity to Pratt?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because Pratt has more requirements in the sciences, math, etc. so you need to make sure you take them freshman year so you’re not behind. Honestly, I knew a couple girls technically in Pratt freshman year who took ZERO engineering/math courses and knew they were going to be in Trinity. Duke doesn’t make sure you’re fulfilling requirements and on the right path (although your academic advisor is supposed to do that, but most don’t), so you can sign up for anything you want really. Going the Pratt -> Trinity route is as simple as checking a box. Going Trinity -> Pratt route, you need to take through Math 103, chem/bio or physics, and EGR 53 by the end of your freshman year. You don’t really *need *good grades to transfer into Pratt as nobody is going to tell you absolutely can’t, but they might advise against it and anybody who get Cs in those classes isn’t going to want to take engineering courses anyways. You don’t declare a major until the end of your sophomore year. So transferring to BME is the same as transferring to CE. If you’re unsure, I’d apply to Pratt so you can take EGR 53 first semester. That’s really the only engineering course you must take freshman year. And take the math/science requirements. If you like it, you can stay. If not, you can easily switch schools (as 30% of Pratt does, on par with the national engineering averages) and your math/science courses still count towards graduation requirements in Trinity.</p>
<p>Is EGR 53 known for being really hard? What does it curve to?</p>
<p>I am thinking of doing Pratt and then transferring out if I don’t like it but I’m afraid that I’ll fail EGR 53 lol</p>

<p>Ummm, you need academic dean approval to take Egr 53 as a Trinity student. Without good/decent grades (no C/D), I don’t think your dean will sign off on it.</p>

Egr 53 is easy, probably an A- average class</p>
