Shraf,
Why is that so? (BME)
| His dissatisfaction probably has something to do with the fact BME has a lot of grade-grubbing premeds (and that he is in fact also premed).

| several majors in the IEOR department, especially "Engineering Management Systems", are far less challenging than the others, which is to say that the typical student in any other major would probably do much better at EMS. It has earned nicknames like "Emergency Major Switch" and "Engineering Made Simple".

Just keep in mind that you can't cross major in most cases, but there are several joint-majors available. If you're in SEAS, you can't major in Chemistry, but can do chemical engineering. You can't major in Biology, but can do Biomedical Engineering. If you're in the College, there's no Financial Engineering nor Industrial Operations, but you can major in Economics-Math (joint) or Economics-Operations Research (joint). Make sure you know what school you are applying to and what majors are offered. Worst case scenario you can transfer. One of my friends transferred between schools and said it was an extremely easy process.

Wharton isn't even the most prestigious school at Penn. That would be the nursing school.

If EMS is the least challenging major in SEAS, what about OR?
OR requires less math / stats background than EMS.
