Transfer Question

<p>I just found out that one of the Universities in my country (India) has a program tailored for students who want to transfer to a Uni in the US/UK/Australia. It's a 2 year program and there's a partnership with several tier-2 unis, just in case a student can't get admission to a university of his choice on his own.</p>

<p>I'm considering a career in investment banking, and this particular program offers only engineering as an option. So can I take Engineering (Computers) for 2 years, transfer and then double in Comp Eng + Economics? I realize I won't get any internships this way (and that's a significant disadvantage) but there's probably not much I can do about that. (I could try to intern after my 3rd year, I suppose) I'm willing to study during the summers too, FWIW, to get the required credits for a double degree, but I have no idea if this is possible at my first choice transfer colleges (Cornell, Columbia).</p>

<p>So is this possible? Should I go in for it? Could someone take me through the pros and cons of this option?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for reading through this. Awaiting your reply. =)</p>
