Seriously Regreting College Decision Already

[ctyankee]

<p>

Now, this whole thing would not be such a dilemma if I wanted to change to some other form of engineering, but the architecture programs at all of the schools I applied to all require applications that were due months ago and many of them are 5 year programs. I am feeling as though I potentially really screwed up as I am now dreading going to college for something I am no longer really enthusiastic about. I want to incorporate my art into my work and materials science just does not allow for that.

<p>Tough one. Obviously you have thought of one solution, but it is a tough pill to swallow. </p>

<p>It appears that Penn State allows freshmen to apply to the school of Architecture. So maybe you could enroll in engineering, do very well and get into their Architecture program that way. Certainly there has to be some core curriculum between the two schools … you may be able to graduate in the same time as everyone else who came in as a freshman, who knows? Worth a few phone calls to the other schools as you get accepted.</p>

<p>Also, you may have a course freshman year that changes you mind yet again. It’s been known to happen. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>
