<p>I'm an incoming freshman and was accepted to Human Ecology (my first choice). However, ive recently come to conclusion that the Agriculture school may be better for me. I want to do nutritional sciences (both schools offer the major) but i'm also interested in food science (which only CALS offers). </p>

<p>How do you apply to switch? is it hard ? Would it be possible to do so before my first semester? I figure that since the programs of study are very similar that regardless of which school im in for the first semester i would still be taking practically the same classes (gen eds and such). </p>

<p>I dont have an advisor or counselor to talk to about this...perhaps i should call the undergraduate admissions office? thoughts/ suggestions greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>In most cases, a switch between schools is doable. </p>

<p>I don’t think it can be done before first semester. If memory serves, you ‘apply’ to the new school. Acceptance isn’t guaranteed but it usually happens. </p>

<p>In your case – I would speak to your advisor. If your major is offered in your college, but you want a related minor that’s in another school, it may very well be doable.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
