<p>I applied to be a bio major but got rejected so I'm going in undecided. Honestly, how difficult is it really to become a bio major going in undecided? Is it worth it? I'm taking AP Bio right now so would sending in my ap score help?</p>
<p>Or criminology/criminal justice</p>
<p>My D is in a similar situation, only she applied undecided. At Admitted Students Day, they explained that an internal transfer is the way to get into biology, or other LEPs. The student has to take what are called Gateway courses for the intended major. These are the EXACT same courses that engineering admitted students will be taking. They may even be in the same class. A certain GPA must be maintained, determined by the LEP department. If all that is met, the student applies for an internal transfer at the end of freshman year. For most LEPs, including engineering, it is NOT competitive. Meet the criteria and you are in. Period. You can search the UMD web site for “internal transfer” to get more info. I hope this helps,</p>
