<p>I can’t say much from personal experience as I’m just a freshman, but one of my friends was admitted as a Psych major and wants to change to an Econ major, so now she’s taking Econ courses. Some upperclassmen I’ve met have also gone through a change in major. It shouldn’t be much of a problem as long as you show you’ve done coursework towards your desired major, and that there’s time for you to complete that major.</p>

<p>ok thanks! :)</p>

<p>It really depends. If you are not in the engineering program, for example, and end up having a hard time catching up on the material… then you might never meet the GPA requirement. I would recommend you applying to the more difficult major if you have a choice; easier to switch out than switch in.</p>
