Tough time deciding if I want to enroll at a school (need advice)

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm posting this here because I know it is an active board and I am in need of advice</p>

<p>I recently got admitted by alternate choice, and was put in BS:ACE-Consumer Economics & Finance at U of I - Champaign.</p>

<p>My problem is that I ultimately would like to be an accountant and earn a CPA, which would require me to switch into the business school.</p>

<p>My question is, is switching majors doable? I guess a better question is, would it be reasonable for me to infer that I could obtain a 3.5+ my first year coming out of a competitive high school from the north shore of Chicago?</p>

<p>Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>You might have better luck on the Univ of Ill - Champaign board. Difficulty of switching majors/schools varies widely between universities.</p>

<p>Sorry!</p>

<p>150 years ago when I was an undergraduate, I transferred from my University’s College of Arts & Sciences into their Engineering School. Wasn’t hard at all, although it did cost me a year (to make up all the required core courses).</p>

<p>Can you take a summer school class to get a jump start on your new major?</p>
