<p>I applied for Mechanical Engineering at the Swanson School of Engineering. I was recently notified that I had the option of either accepting admission to the School of Arts and Sciences and transferring after two semesters OR placing myself on a wait list for Swanson. I was wondering if anyone knew how selective and how tough it is to transfer out of A&S to Swanson and what the applicant pool to Swanson looked like, both transfer for second year and incoming freshman. Also, how are the freshman year engineering courses different at the two schools?</p>
