<p>When I applied to WashU I thought I wanted to go the medical route. Now I'm second guessing that and think I'd be more interested in engineering or computer science. Does anyone know how I would begin the transfer process as a freshmen or what classes I would need to take as a freshman so that I would still be able to graduate on time transferring my sophomore year? Also, generally how difficult is it to transfer into engineering?</p>
<p>I’m replying just to get this thread some attention. If it makes you feel better, I’m in the same position! xD</p>
<p>You can switch over before even starting (so that you get an engineering advisor) by emailing engineering student services (do a quick google search).</p>
<p>But the general fall freshmen classes for engineers:</p>
<p>Math (whatever you’re ready for, ie Calc 2 or Calc 3).
Physics 117 or 197 (I suggest 197)
Chem 111a & 151 (if you’re thinking bme or cheme; if else you can wait til sophomore year)
Intro class (ie bme’s take bme 140, ee’s have an intro course, etc) This isn’t necessary, but helpful - if you don’t take it now, you can as a sophomore, but that would suck.</p>
<p>Also, see here for ESS’s guide from last year:
[Washington</a> University Engineering ? Registration Guide for Freshmen 2011](<a href=“http://www.engineering.wustl.edu/freshmen/]Washington”>http://www.engineering.wustl.edu/freshmen/)</p>
<p>It should be updated over the summer, but not much will change (if anything).</p>
<p>To stay on track, it helps if you know what discipline of engineering. If you’re leaning towards CS, there are two degree options. One requires a year of physics, and a semester of chemistry. The other requires 8 units of any science or psychology. You also would t need to take Diff Eq for CS, and you would for other engineering. </p>
<p>If you can’t commit now, you can still graduate on time by taking the classes the following year. Your freshmen schedule however would be different.</p>
