Switching from Engineering to Business

<p>Can you still do that at this late time? I selected biomedical engineering and am a bit unsatisfied with this choice at UT. Can I still switch. Anyone have any experience in switching colleges at UT?</p>

<p>I doubt you can switch into business right now. Your best bet is to go into econ or a related major where you can take care of the business prerequisites for your first year and then try an internal transfer to McCombs for your sophomore year.</p>

<p>Last year 68% of internal transfers were approved. In 2004 it was 82%. If you are a resident you need to shoot for a 3.7 GPA and if a nonresident you should get a 3.8 to be competitive. </p>

<p>"After spring grades are complete, all applicants are ranked in two categories: non-residents (out-of-state, foreign) and Texas residents. Each category is ranked by in-residence (UT classroom) grade point average. Placement (credit-by-exam), extension, transfer, and correspondence grades are not considered."</p>

<p>"No letters of recommendation, personal statements, or resumes are considered."</p>

<p>Another case of UT playing the numbers game, but if you stay focused your freshman year and do well, you have a pretty good shot at getting in.</p>
