Hi!
I really need your suggestion on my college selection.
I have been accepted into both Umass Amherst and umass Lowell for the class 2023. College of science for umass amherst and college of engineering for umass Lowell. I really want to do mechanical engineering. but seems umass amherst have higher total ranking.
I wonder if I just accept the umass amherst offer to college odf science and art, and hoping I can later tranfer to engineering college after the first year or just directly go to umass lowell for mechanical engineering.
I saw the Umass Engineering web saying as long as I get a C or higher on all the class for the first year I will be able to get into Engineering college at umass amherst. However, I heard from an admission officer at umass amherst saying I must get all Bs to get into college of Engineering. Does anyone in umass amherst has any experience and know how this actually works?
Should I go to Lowell instead of Amherst, since the transfer is really risky? (Both college cost the same for me).
You advices and suggestions is much appreciated.
