<p>I am starting as a freshman (Scholars) this Fall, starting on Letters and Sciences, with my goal to graduate with major on Bioengineering. I would really appreciate your feedback on the odds of getting into the Bioengineering program, as soon as I complete my general education requirements.</p>
<p>The biggest key will be your grades. The better they are, the better your chances are… If you got into Scholars, it’s obvious that you’ve got good grades in high school… Keep your ultimate goal in mind when it’s a choice between partying and studying. You will still have time to have fun, but by keeping it reasonable you will probably do well. Good luck!</p>
<p>I transferrred into Bioengineering from Chemical and Life Sciences, and I can tell you that whether or not you get in is pretty much based entirely on your grades. Just work hard and you’ll have no trouble</p>
<p>I just joined this site and saw this thread…its shocking because I have the same concern of whether I can graduate from Bioengineering but starting in Letters and Sciences…thanks this was helpful…</p>
<p>I have another question…Does anyone know what classes should definitely sign up for so Im in a good place to transfer to the school of engineering my second year?</p>
<p>For bioengineering, in order to transfer you need to take CHEM135, BIOE120, PHYS161, MATH140 ,MATH141, ENGL101, and one CORE humanities or social science class. It seems like a lot, but you can get out of a lot of these classes with AP credit. AB Calculus gets you out of MATH140, BC Calculus gets you out of MATH141, Physics C: Mechanics gets you out of PHYS161, English Lang and Comp or a 670 on your SAT CR gets you out of ENGL101, and a lot of AP courses can fulfill the CORE, such as Psych, foreign language, US History, etc. I think AP Chem can get you out of CHEM135 but double check that. IF you took a lot of AP’s and did well on the exams then you may only need to take BIOE120</p>
