Question: Changing College Choice between CC and SEAS after applying

<p>I'm going to be a Senior next year, and am interested in some majors in both schools. </p>

<p>I know about the 'Combined Plan' Programm..but I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to switch between the two after applying if I like the other more?</p>

<p>Uhhh I’m not sure. Transferring between the colleges after getting accepted is pretty competitive though. I know people that have transferred, but then you’re competing against all the transfers from other schools as well.</p>

<p>you may transfer between the two, but it involves submitting a transfer application. the uni has an interest in maintaining a ratio between the two schools relatively constant, and thus your ability to transfer often is limited by how many students go each way - more students tend to want to transfer from SEAS to CC, thus you’d be at a comparative advantage if you wish to transfer from CC to SEAS. it is not impossible to transfer between SEAS to CC, but often requires a more compelling reason than i don’t like engineering classes.</p>

<p>No I meant before you get accepted?</p>

<p>Maybe after you submit your application in Oct/Jan?</p>

<p>oh yeah, so long as you do so hopefully in advance of decisions being released, is cool. applicants do it all the time.</p>

<p>Oh cool. I didn’t know that.</p>

<p>@ admissionsgeek: How do you do that? Do you just email the regional officer?</p>

<p>or usually just email the main columbia email <a href=“mailto:ugrad-ask@columbia.edu”>ugrad-ask@columbia.edu</a>.</p>
