Switching into Bioengineering?

<p>Hey guys, just wanted some input on this issue. I'm an incoming Freshman enrolled in Jacobs for Enviorn. Engineering. I know Bioengineering is impacted, but is there still any chance at all that I can get in?</p>

<p>Small chance. Bioengineering is the most impacted at UCSD because of its rep. Take all the prereq classes needed for bioE, get killer grades, and apply to transfer.
However, if you fail to get in, this may delay your graduation by a little since you took some bioE prereqs instead of fulfilling environE prereqs.</p>

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>“The only way for a student to become a Bioengineering major as a freshman at UCSD is to be directly admitted from high school at the time of entrance into UCSD.”</p>

<p>dang, that’s a downer. Thanks for the info guys.</p>

<p>I applied Bioengineering, but they let me in undeclared. :confused: I asked about it later and they said there is a chance, but it’s a very small chance. I’m bummed now, I have no idea what other engineering I’d want to do, I was really set on bioengineering.</p>

<p>you have to take all the prereqs and apply at the end of your soph year. this is the only other time people can transfer in. if you arent accepted, you might be delayed on the major you are in now…that is why it says there are no other ways to be a BioE major as a frosh</p>

<p>There’s a chance. A bunch of people got into a “pre-BENG” test engineering major in the winter of 2010… (Which is basically BENG except if you perform badly, they’ll kick you out).</p>
