<p>I was just looking at the requirements for the ORFE program and I noticed you need a Physics or Chemistry subject test in addition to a math test. I haven't taken either science (I took math 2) so this means I can't apply to ORFE? Also, can I enter in economics and switch to ORFE or is it pretty much locked in? Any insight would be appreciated.</p>
<p>They do ask you have to have a science subject test if you’re interested in engineering, as you mentioned, <em>but</em> you’re are not in any way bound to your choice of A.B. or B.S.E - so if you say you’re interested in an A.B. (econ), but you then decide you want to do ORFE, I would think you should be able to do it with relatively few problems…you are applying to Princeton as a whole, not a School of Engineering, etc. or anything like that.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you are actually applying to AB or BSE.</p>
<p>However, we were told at an info session a few weeks ago that the Woodrow Wilson school is the only competitive major at Princeton, so I would imagine that you’d have no problem switching in to Engineering as long as you do it early enough or satisfy the initial science/math prereqs.</p>
<p>I’m in the same predicament actually, wavering between ORFE, econ, or some other engineering field. But my application definitely fits an engineering-major profile much more than an econ major, so I decided to apply BSE.</p>
<p>I say just apply to the major that would give you the greatest chance of being accepted. Actually getting in to Princeton is going to be much harder than switching departments.</p>
<p>you apply to the university as a whole, you just need to say what you are interested in. When you get accepted there is a form to fill out with possible classes for the next year and you can fill out eihter the AB or the BSE form, regardless of what was on your application.</p>
<p>okay, thanks for the help</p>
