<p>ok so i want to go to Cornell Engineering as my first choice college. the major im most interested in the ops research and engineering, but im definitly p in the air. is there an advantage to having a major within the college or going undeclared?
But i was considering the primary alternate admission with a&s. is a&s this easier to get into? and say i wanted to try and transfer into the engineering college is that hard? and how much would i have to make up say i majored in mat or physics in a&s and transfered in?</p>
<p>I’m a Computer Science major in the Arts school. I don’t know much about the Engineering core requirements, but I do know that most Engineers take the same stuff the first year so it shouldn’t really matter what major you enter as. Arts is, I believe, harder to get into by admissions rate. However, Engineering also makes selections based on your math/science background, so it really differs based on your experiences. Transferring would suck because you’d be very late on taking all of the engineering requirements and engineers take two semesters of Calc to learn the same stuff arts students do in three. In short, definitely hard to make the switch to engineering, I haven’t seen it done. But I’ve seen a whole lot transfer out.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>If you are considering engineering, strongly, apply for it. </p>
<p>If you do not start out as an engineer, you will most likely take 5 years to graduate.</p>
<p>yeah both of you. i def dont want it to take 5 years to graduate with a bs.</p>
<p>just remember that if theres a chance you want to transfer out of engineering, itd be very difficult b.c they tend to have low gpas</p>
