Transfer from Trinity to Pratt?

<p>Hi, I'm really undecided. I have a strong interest in both Arts/Sciences and Engineering and my application is a lot stronger as an Arts/Sciences applicant. However, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to transfer from Arts/Sciences to Engineering. Has anyone here transfered from Trinity to Pratt? Is it difficult?</p>

<p>The treqs website says: </p>

<p>“Applications to transfer from Pratt to Trinity are rarely denied. However, students who wish to transfer from Trinity to Pratt can expect their course work and grades to be scrutinized, especially their science and mathematics course work.”</p>

<p>This is the page with the form to transfer between the two schools: </p>

<p>[Duke</a> University | Trinity College of Arts & Sciences : Academic requirements](<a href=“http://trinity.duke.edu/academic-requirements?p=transfer-to-from-pratt-school-of-engineering]Duke”>http://trinity.duke.edu/academic-requirements?p=transfer-to-from-pratt-school-of-engineering)</p>

<p>It’s part of “treqs” which is trinity requirements. I’m sure if you browse around the website you’ll find out other stuff you’ll be wondering about.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info SriverFX!</p>

<p>You need to wait 1 year before you switch, so be weary of which classes you are taking.</p>

<p>You need to wait a year to officially transfer schools, but there are no restrictions as to what classes you can or cannot take. You could technically be enrolled in Pratt and not take a single engineering course (in fact, I know a couple people who did this). Conversely, you can be enrolled in Trinity and still enroll in engineering courses if you so desire (although that is rare unless you plan on transferring). It’s really not very difficult to transfer as long as you have the Pratt pre-reqs in place (and did reasonably well, but I’d imagine you’d only want to transfer if you did reasonably well; I’m talking essentially math, chem, and egr 53 freshman year).</p>

<p>^ Conversely, you must make sure that you fulfill the requirements of the school that you are officially enrolled in until your transfer is official. If you start in trinity, I think that means you must take a seminar course for every year that you are still in trinity.</p>
