<p>I was admitted into CAS ED. I have always been interested in pure sciences/math, but say I find that I want a more applied view: is it difficult to switch over to engineering?</p>
<p>I called recently about this same thing. I know i wanna double major in college, with both mechanical eng./aerospace eng. & poly sci. I was worried that It would be hard to add a major, but the lady at CAS on the line at Cornell said lots of kids do it each year (But I called Northwestern, and the lady said it was harder to do there). But I'm not sure about completely switching ur major into a different school. I think all you need is to keep decent grades (prbly 3.0 above maybe?) first 2 years, then get some signatures from the dean of each college. Haha, my friend applied to all the UCs as Middle Eastern Studies or Chicano studies. We were all hella laughing...</p>
<p>no but do it as soon as you are sure. engineering has sequences that you are required to take before you can apply to become affliated with a major.</p>
<p>just send an additional resume, and include AP scores on it. I went to one of the Cornell talks at some high school 30 miles away (in san jose, lynnbrook i think, if anyone cares) and the admissions lady there said that they will go through students' additional forms.</p>
<p>loserkev, thats pretty damn cool haha. my friends father applied to harvard for some dead language and then switched to premed. it doesnt work like it used to...</p>
<p>Haha ya...And sad thing bout my friend who applied MiddleEastern/Chicano studies is that for UC Arts and Sciences, you dont apply to major, but to school.....so if he gets in and wants to switch, they might get kinda suspicious....</p>
