Which engineering is easier to get into?

<p>Is it easier for OOS to be admitted into ChemE or BioE or undeclared? Also, how difficult is it to switch around?</p>

<p>Engineering Undeclared is the hardest, followed by Bioengineering. Chemical Engineering is in the College of Chemistry, so presumably it is the easiest to get into of the three.</p>

<p>im not very informed about this but i know they're two different colleges. chemE is in the college of chemistry. bioE is in college of engineering(COE) and undeclared what? (theres L&S and COE undeclared) switching from L&S to COE is difficult but vice versa is much easier. dont know about switching for the other ones. COE undeclared is one of berks toughest majors to get into.</p>

<p>While transferring from L&S to COE is very difficult, the other way around is not as easy as most people think. There's a minimum GPA required for you to transfer out of COE, and engineering classes are difficult. So, in order to transfer out, you have to have at least a GPA of around 3.0</p>

<p>You cannot switch in engineering undeclared if you did not get in as a freshman. Transferring into BioE requires at least 1 year of coursework for evaluation. You need to maintain a 3.7+ GPA to be competitive in transferring into BioE. Switching into ChemE is guaranteed during your first semester at Berkeley, but be warned, it's a very hard, if not the hardest, major on campus.</p>

<p>I got into ChemE as a transfer student from a CSU, so I'd say it's the easiest.</p>

<p>Note: This was back in '97. ;) Dang, 10 years ago already?!</p>

<p>tastybeef: do you know what type of gpa one would need for EECS transferring from L&S to COE? and is it hard to get that gpa?</p>

<p>I think you would want to maintain 3.6+ in the pre-requisite courses. As for how hard it is to get that GPA, it depends on you. If you put in the work, then it shouldn't be that difficult. It's the same with every other major, if you work diligently, you'll get something out of it.</p>
