For the longest time, I thought I wanted to go to engineering school. but after doing some research and talking to my friends already in college, I’ve begun to rethink it. There are so many different things I want to do, but I feel like my resume doesn’t gear toward sciences. I’ve taken AP histories every year except for senior year ( I opted to take a bunch of elective, some of which are advanced history electives) and I’ve interned on Capitol Hill twice. It seems like I want to be a political science major, but I’m not sure if thats what I want to do. For a lot of school that I have already applied to, I’ve applied engineering thinking it would be easier to switch in than switch out.
My dream school, however, is Georgia Tech. I’ve visited and have friends there who all like and I love everything I’ve learned about the school. They don’t admit by major, but they consider applicants through the lens of the major they indicate. After looking over transfer policies at Tech (you can change before 60 credit hours super easily as a freshman), it seemed as if my chances were better as applying as a political science/public policy major and then transferring to something like neuroscience because I think I’d rather do that. Is this what I should do?
tl;dr: My resume appears as if I want to be a political science/public policy major because of my classes/intern experience/ recommendations. At a school like Georgia Tech, where they don’t admit by major (but they kinda do) would it make more sense to apply as that and then switch to neuroscience/engineering because it’s my dream school?
Thank you so much for any help!
(I’d prefer neuroscience rather than engineering at the moment) & I know changes have to be within colleges so my whole argument falls apart. I just don’t know what to do-- I really want to go to GT. 
So you are thinking of majors in public policy, neuroscience as well as engineering?
GaTech offers a political science MINOR:
https://www.gatech.edu/academics/degrees/bachelors/political-science-minor
GaTech offers a major in public policy -
https://www.gatech.edu/academics/degrees/bachelors/public-policy-bs
GaTech offers a combination of economics and International studies
https://www.gatech.edu/academics/degrees/bachelors/economics-and-international-affairs-bs
History Technology and Society-
https://www.gatech.edu/academics/degrees/bachelors/history-technology-and-society-bs
You can switch easily between all of the above majors and minors.
In the school of science , there is a neuroscience BS degree-- (and other math and science majors )
https://www.gatech.edu/academics/degrees/bachelors/neuroscience-bs
Engineering has a long list of options and to be clear thats NOT in the same college with
the science majors like neuroscience.
GaTech offers strong International studies, and has a good business college. Are you in state? GaTech has a detailed website that will tell you exactly how much credit you can get if you input your class numbers, from any community college. Are you at a community college or a 4 year college now? which one? GaTech will take their time admitting you after the freshman are admitted on January 15, and RD in March/April. You may not hear from them until June, and they will ask for an update on your grades from the spring semester. Then you will also not get on campus housing. Is that OK with you? Home Park is rough, but inexpensive. Tech Square may be more pricy. Look north of campus for deals, but be careful as there is some crime up there.
Please post this again under GaTech too, to get more inputs. I read your note again and realize you are NOT a transfer student, but looking to apply as a freshman. Whether you are in state or out of state will determine whether you can get in, more than which major you choose. You can always change your major later but it may take more time. Its easier to get into GaTech if you applied by Oct 15. If you did not, it may be difficult if you are out of state, but depends on many factors. Public policy majors are less common at GaTech than say mechanical engineers, that may help a little bit.
