<p>At Cornell can you get rejected over your choice of major?</p>
<p>Absolutely yes. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences application demands that you pick 2 majors. In CALS, you are then admitted as a freshman ______ major in the College. Can you change once enrolled? Yes, but there are requirements and some paperwork that needs to be done, In addition, programs like AEM have limited spaces and an internal transfer in that program is very competitive.</p>
<p>OP,
Let me tell you how College of Engineering works. You don't actually get your major just because you were accepted at Cornell.
After taking one year of introductory courses, you apply to ur ptreffered major, and if they like you, u get ur major. Though, ive not yet met anyone rejected from their preferred major, i hear some guys do get rejected each year.</p>
<p>So if they get rejected, what do they end up doing?</p>
<p>econ, usually.</p>
<p>hah! really?? they can't try again after a semester or so? ugh. that would suck so hard.</p>
<p>From what we saw with AEM, there were a lot of requirements needed to graduate. So while you maight be able to try an internal transfer again, a student would have to schedule very carefully.</p>
<p>yeah i think architecture only admits 5 tranfers ..but it also depends on how many people drop out of architecture because attrition rate is pretty high</p>
<p>plenty of people drop out of the arch program. usually around 60-65 freshmen start and I believe they're already down to something between 50 and 55 students after two semesters. It's hard to transfer into the arch program not because of selectivity, but because it's very rare to have a student who already has the right studio credits. This year, a junior in the engineering school (who was already a licensed architect in some middle eastern country) transfered into the architecture program. Because he wasn't already in a B.Arch program, he's essentially starting all over again in Design Studio I.</p>
