<p>I know there are a few discussions on this, but I didn't find any definite answers, so I am making this thread.</p>
<p>So I am unsure whether to apply to CoE or L&S because I am not exactly sure of whether to go into Engineering, bussiness or something else. I know that getting into L&S is much easier than CoE (especially since I'm OOS), but I was wondering how hard it is to switch to CoE after a semester/year or so.</p>
<p>Assuming that keeping a high GPA is not an issue, what's the degree of difficulty?</p>
<p>Yeah, thanks, but how difficult is it? I mean, what's hard about switching?</p>
<p>Also, how difficult is CoE to get into exactly (let's say for Undeclared). Are there any statistics or rough estimations? If someone could compare it to another university, that'd be helpful in getting an idea.</p>

<p>The difficulty varies from year to year depending on the demand from other students and available spots, and also to * which * engineering discipline you are switching into. But generally, to switch in, you need at least a 3.0 GPA in your lower-division engineering prereqs, and for certain disciplines (i.e. EECS), you need well over that, probably more like a 3.5+. </p>

<p>Engineering Undeclared is arguably the most difficult one to get into. For OOS, I would say the difficulty of getting in is probably comparable to the difficulty of getting admitted into the top private schools like Stanford.</p>
