<p>I'm split between the Human ecology college, arts and science, and engineering. How hard is it to transfer internally once you're accepted? And how early in your freshman year can you transfer is you realize its not what you wanted? On another side note, do I even have a chance?
Top 20% in hs
SAT: 690 M, 690W, 640R 2020 (one sitting)
Physics - 730
Math 1 - 720
AP's after graduation:</p>
<p>Physics B
Physics C E&M and Kinematics
Statistics
Calculus BC
Java</p>
<p>It doesn’t hurt to apply.
Your choice of college depends on what you want to study. Keep in mind that engineering and HumEc are fairly specific colleges, so don’t commit to them unless you are very confident you want to study there. </p>
<p>Internal transfer is doable if you maintain a good GPA and give a good argument why you need to transfer. Ideally, you want to do the internal transfer either after your first or second semesters.</p>
<p>n admissions you always have to hope for the best…but expect the worse. Getting your CR + M score up approximately 100 points will help your chances. Over 90% of admits were in the top 10% of their graduating high school classes, so that is another factor working against you.</p>
<p>To equilibrium: By specific you mean engineering doesn’t encourage people to take extra physical science and math courses??? I might want to study Astrophysics, but I don’t think I’ll be able to know until I get my feet wet. </p>
<p>To csdad: I don’t think I can retake the sat’s, and my rank is low because I didn’t take school seriously until junior year. And as an ego booster, does that mean all my other stats are working in my favor? :D</p>
<p>Engineering students usually have a fairly rigid curriculum during the first two years. However, you can definitely dabble around a little bit during your first two years - just not too much. However, you should be okay with astrophysics, as there is an Applied/Engineering physics major at Cornell.</p>
