<p>did anyone get in with under a 1400 SAT score? If so, what were your credentials? If not, please list your stats anyway because it's interesting. Thanks!</p>

<p>asdfTT123, how did you change from engineering to arts and science?</p>

<p>I just called them...it's easy as that. All students are permitted to freely switch between schools/majors (with exception of BME).</p>

<p>asdfTT123, do you know anythign about switching to an engineering program that requires a first-year intro class? Or more specifically for me, if I, as a BME, decide to double major in another engineering field? Is that possible and what happens to the intro course requirements?</p>

<p>You stumped me on that one... I would think that it's very difficult to double major in two engineering fields because the curriculum is so structured (unlike many A&S majors). However I may be wrong...but you're definitely up for quite a courseload...lol It's probably best to call advising about that.</p>
