for example, from physics to chemistry ?

Yes, it's very easy to change. Making sure you can meet all the requirements of your new major and still graduate on time depends on when you make the change.

bonanza,

very helpful. I like physics, but what I have taken are all High School or AP levels, I do not
know if the advanced level physics classes are interesting; and or I might find something much more interesting.

Thanks again , man!

It's really easy to change majors, like bonanza said, with the exception of changing into the BME (biomedical engineering program). BME is the only major you have to apply to as an incoming freshman, and you can only transfer in if the department decides to open up room for transfers after freshman year (it happens some years and not others, so don't count on it)

tanman,

interesting, I just want to to go medical school in future, are BME students easier to
be accepted by medical school ?

Thanks again.

I am pretty sure med school cares more about what gpa u get from your science classes and mcat scores than what your major in. Technically you can major in anything want, as long as you do well in ur pre med course requirement. BME classes are hard, so it's really hard to get a good gpa in bme, which actually might hurt med school chances.

BME students don't have any easier time getting into med school. There's absolutely no reason to pursue BME unless you're really interested in the field. Someone posted this, which I thought was a great analogy:
