<p>What is ACES/initially accepted to ACES?</p>
<p>So I was accepted to the school, but applied to the engineering department. I got my acceptance last Friday. What is the deal with this ACES program? Does this mean you have to go through 2 years of basically pointless highschool nothing again, and then apply to this school again, and then go through another 4 years to get one degree?</p>
<p>Does this mean I will not graduate until 6 years from now?</p>
<p>Unless I missed something, the website tells you jack, so please don't link me to it. It gives you no useful informational at all, other than the fact that it guides students to a major. My thought is that your accepted to ACES if you are not initially good enough for the specific school, and then you have to work your way there. However, I don't know the time this would take/how this would effect your overall college career....graduating in 6 years with 1 major is pretty weird.....I heard of plenty who graduated in three years with two majors....this either really sucks for me, or everyone is initially accepted to this or something...</p>
<p>On another note, when you pay your acceptance deposit ($150), they didn't send an email yet, which is odd.
What happens when you pay this? Do you get information about the school, emails, and so forth? Do you get into the loop, and get an account/email/etc.?</p>
<p>ACES is their program for those who need help finding a career in certain fields.</p>
<p>It basically means you were denied to the school of engineering and accepted as undecided.</p>
<p>Relax, you won’t have to do 6 years of pointless school unless you add graduate school, but it does mean you’ll do 2 years of high school-ish pre req stuff again</p>
<p>ACES means undecided. No, you don’t have to do 2 years of anything. I’m not sure where you got this idea.</p>
<p>You were placed in ACES because you either weren’t good enough for engineering or there wasn’t enough room left in engineering.</p>
<p>I don’t think you read the web site, because it does give you useful information. Right here ([University</a> of Connecticut](<a href=“http://www.aces.uconn.edu/html/declaringmajors.htm]University”>http://www.aces.uconn.edu/html/declaringmajors.htm)), it gives you the requirements for applying to the different schools/colleges (departments).</p>
<p>For engineering, it very clearly says:
“Students can apply for a school change to the School of Engineering after completing at least one semester. To initiate the process contact the office of the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education at 486-5466.”</p>
<p>Again, ACES is just undecided. That means you can change into any CLAS (college of liberal arts and sciences) or CANR (college of agriculture and natural resources) major at any time. The other schools (business, education, engineering, fine arts, nursing) have their own requirements which are all listed on the page I just linked to.</p>
<p>How long does it usually take to get into the school of engineering?</p>
<p>Also, if you get good grades for “semester”. they said you can transfer over; do they also look at your highschool grades and your SAT score too, or just your recent college grades.</p>
<p>sorry about that grammar ^

<p>On the site, they say that you can apply after one semester…does that mean if you have very good grades, they will accept you into the school of engineering, or do they also look at your highschool grades too?</p>
<p>That I don’t know the answer to, unfortunately. You should talk to the SoE about that.</p>
