<p>If anybody is thinking about transferring schools, specifically to CIT, I can probably answer your questions about the process.</p>
<p>I just completed the process after about 8 months of planning, setting up meetings with people, taking classes outside of my major, etc. I went from physics --> Mech.e btw.</p>
<p>I know it was stressful, especially being admitted to a program other than the one I was interested it. It's a giant leap of faith to come here hoping to transfer schools, but I went though it, and if you need any help or advice, hit me up!</p>
<p>kazper: CS to IS isn’t very hard at all from what my CS friends tell me. There is a slight problem with electives, however. H&SS kids have to take a ton of humanities classes, especially freshman year, and CS has to take math and programming (among other things of course). So, I guess I would say it isn’t very hard, as long as you do decent in your intro to programming class (15112). Definitely tell your adviser during orientation. CS -> H&SS is supposed to be the most common transfer for CS kids.</p>
<p>ben7293- Unfortunately I don’t know that number. It really all depends on the major/department. For example, transferring into ECE is very difficult because there is a cap on class size. So if they accept a lot of ECE’s, and they all declare ECE at the end of their freshman year, then they don’t accept anybody. Now, just because they don’t accept anybody outright, doesn’t mean you still can’t be ECE. A lot of kids drop majors like that, so as long as you keep taking the classes, they eventually have to accept you. Sorry for the ECE tangent. </p>
<p>Lavy27- I saved yours for last, because I feel like it will be the longest response. I’ll give you the back story really quick, then explain what I did. I applied as a physics major (obviously). I didn’t apply to CIT because I didn’t know you needed a physics or chem SATII until I went to apply (On like Dec. 28). So, because I was pretty torn between engineering and physics anyways, I just applied physics. After I got in, I started talking to people about transferring. I emailed my adviser (Christine. She’s awesome) and she basically told me what I told ben. It all depends on class size. So, I enrolled, and entered as a physics major. But I met with her (Christine) during orientation and talked to her about transferring. She was very helpful and truly wanted me to be in the school I felt I wanted to be. So she got me into Intro to CivE (usually open to nonmajors in the fall, along with ChemE). I ended up dropping that class for a graduate robotics class. But that is beside the point. So in about April, I met with the Mech.E adviser about transferring. She explained the process (like you can’t transfer in until after spring break) and everything I needed. She also helped me get into Intro to Mech.E. So I tried to keep in touch with her, by sending emails about transferring, throughout the spring. Then I applied at midsemester, and got in! That’s pretty much what I did completely. I would advise trying to get into an intro to __ engineering class this fall. It will keep you caught up with the CIT class. </p>
