<p>Haha yeah…my counselors weren’t very helpful at all. Most never want to think or help your situation, rather just do certain things like ‘sign this’ or ‘can you grab this file for me from my records’.</p>
<p>For acceptance into majors, unfortunately you are only accepted for one major - mostly your primary one. So lets say you did EE and M/E, EE as your 1st. If you were accepted, you would only be accepted as an EE major even if you met both requirements. For your ACT/SAT, yeah, definitely don’t send it in. It would be ignored and not factored into your admission at all as a transfer.</p>
<p>I guess, you have to ask yourself, which matters more? Acceptance into the schools or the major itself? Math/econ is definitely so much more easier to get in. Not only is the GPA requirement less in math/econ, but the classes are considerably easier too. </p>
<p>For myself, it’s a different case. I’m pursuing EE not because I have a great love for it. In fact, my real ability is inter-personal skills and dealing with people. But to me, it’s more of having knowledge on-hand. If i’m trying to communicate with someone or give them orders but have no idea what i’m talking about - then i’ll look like a fool. So that’s why I wanted the technical background of an EE. To tell you the truth, what you learn in school, most of it will be forgotten or not applied to work at all. So that’s the question, if you really love EE or want the same reasons as myself in having a technical background, then the choice should be EE major. But if you are only picking EE because you think it will determine the rest of your life - definitely pick math/econ. A lot of the interviews I’ve been to for internships at software or circuit developing companies - they all want experience and practical knowledge. None have ever cared about necessarily what I learned in school. My dad was a physics major and he was an optical engineer. All of what he learned was on the job or self-taught. His education and bachelors in physics did not help him at all. So pick your choice, math/econ will be considerably easier to get into schools with, and if you are really interested too in technical things to make a positive impact - trust me, that won’t be learned in school. You gotta learn that on your own time or on the job.</p>
