Just accepted, but want to switch to engineering

Colleges and Universities A-Z Texas A&M University

<p>I was accepted into the college of science at Texas A&M and I now I realize I should have applied to be in the college of engineering. Do any of you know how quickly the spots fill up for engineering? And which majors fill up first?</p>

<p>Either Chemical or Biological/Agricultural are my preferences. My grades are good and ACT score is high, but tamu has rolling admissions and now it's kind of late in the application process.... am I too late? Are there limited spots in honors engineering also?</p>

<p>University offices are closed until Monday. Having a hard time waiting until then...</p>

<p>Chem is full. I’m not positive, but I’m almost 100% sure that you have to wait until you actually get into the university to transfer.</p>

<p>*ChemE is full. I would imagine Bio/Ag is too.</p>

<p>during your new student confrence there is an opportunity to change majors. I know that at least two majors you are not able to transfer into at this time, Architecture & Business… but I do believe when we attended with our daughter 1.5 yrs ago, Engineering was one you could transfer into.
After May 1st date, deadline to accept - there will probably be spots available. At this time there will be people who decide on another University and decline their Engineering slot at A&M. </p>

<p>If I were you, I would contact the college of engineering and see if there is some sort of wait list- you are accepted, so you should eventually be able to transfer into your desired major.</p>

<p>You can try to switch in at NSC, but definitely don’t count on it because if there are any spots left,they will be few and far between.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. Will definitely call the school on Monday. The howdy portal is up again and I was able to request a change of major, though about half the engineering options are full already. Keeping my fingers crossed.</p>

<p>At least try to transfer to an engineering major, it may not be the one of your choice, but it is better to start off in engineering than not.</p>
