Hi everyone,
I applied to CAS and got accepted RD and decided to go. Is there any way that I could transfer into Olin Bschool before I start school in August? I realized that what I really wanted to do was business and was wondering if I could transfer to Olin even before my freshman year!!
Yep - it’s actually really easy to do! & Super common for a lot of incoming freshmen. It’s why all of the schools (even
Once your account is created (around July-ish) & you have webstac access, you should be able to log in and do it electronically.
You might have to email your advisor (who will be listed on webstac) to request it, but that’s really a formality.
@johnson181 thanks! How long do you think we will be able to choose our courses for?
I’m not sure I understand your question. Are you asking when class registration begins?
Bschool’ers register over the summer - either through SOAR or just online on your own (there are advisors who can help), before coming to campus (the freshman curriculum is pretty well defined for freshmen in non-artsci schools).
How many courses do bschool freshman usually take?
Typically around 5 or so. If I remember right, my bschool friends took the following classes fall of freshman year:
Mgmt 100
Mgmt 150
Math 132 (Calc II)
Writing 1
Some random elective
I knew a lot of people who took intro language courses, so the above would have added up to 16 credits, which is fairly normal for a first semester freshmen.
Here’s what Olin posts as their curriculum - looks like my memory was pretty good:

@johnson181 just got my WEBSTAC email and made my account but the change WU school tab said i cant access it till the semester starts. Do you think if i ask my advisor i can have access to that? Thanks!
Yeah if you’ve got an advisor listed already, it wouldn’t hurt to ask them.
@Johnson181 it just says “arts and sciences advisor”. itll change to an actual name later on right?
