<p>I am now having second thoughts about going into medicine or health studies.</p>
<p>I may want to go into business or something else at the Arts and Sciences College.</p>
<p>Is it possible for me to switch to Marshall or the arts and science college? Can I do it before I begin classes there as a freshmen? How simple is the process?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Edit: and is anyone (or have friends) in this program? Can you share some experiences or give your opinion? Thanks again!</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat. I'm guilty of picking an non-impacted major (history) in hopes it would increase my chances of getting in. This is the exact same thing a friend of mine did last year when she applied to USC. She decided to attend, and at orientation she switched her major from history to undeclared. My impression was that it was relatively painless and easy to do... I have a feeling a lot of kids do this. </p>
<p>In regards to switching to business, that will probably be a bit more difficult, as Marshall is selective. However, my tour guide from the last time I was at SC said she started out as some random major and then switched to business her sophomore year, so it can be done.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if the major I picked is easier to get into, but I have thought about what I want to do in the future and I seem to have concluded that I like business a lot.</p>
<p>Also, I got a letter/brochure thing with orientation dates. I will be in China at a camp for all the available orientations.</p>
<p>Is it bad to miss it? What do people usually do there? Will I be signing up for classes last? Will I be able to change majors if I don't go to orientation?</p>
<p>At orientation, you register for classes, get your student ID, take placement tests (depends on your major), and participate in activities that let you know more about the school.</p>
<p>You can register online, but it might be confusing since you have never used the web registration site before. You'll be able to get your ID and take the placement tests the week before classes start. It does hurt to not be able to attend since you will miss out on learning about the school, but it's not the end of the world. </p>
<p>I would contact an advisor for the Marshall school of business and see about transferring in before school starts, as well as finding out what classes you should take in order to get on the business track.</p>
