How difficult is it to transfer from biology to computational biology? I wasn’t aware that it was in SCS, and had thought that comp bio was also in the bio dept. of MCS. Being 100% honest, I have no intention to transfer into SCS because of the reputation, and only because it seems interesting. Should I even attempt to do so? Like will it be looked down upon as trying to cheat my way in? I’m an incoming freshman btw.
Transferring into SCS, where Comp Bio exists as a concentration or major, is exceedingly difficult.
Non-SCS students can minor, which may be the best option.
