<p>How sad for her. No wonder she was ranting on facebook. She does have a dilemma if she will need parental funding. So, like a young poster on another thread, if she starts out in engineering or science-related major, she will pretty much have to start over with foundation classes. For example at Cincinnati, I have heard that they are notorious for not letting credits transfer when going from one school at the univ (i.e.engineering) to DAAP. </p>
<p>Also, engineering is a really tough major to choose as the bait and switch major to get into school. If her heart is not into her courses, she puts herself at risk for getting less than good grades for the transfer school to evaluate. </p>
<p>hmmm…could she apply to Florida in a compromise major and then apply to VCU, etc in what she really wants? That way, if she gets a great scholarship in her desired field at an out of state school, she has some leverage in the final decision.</p>
