<p>My concern though it may not be founded is that if son could not get into engineering school in the first place, what happens if he is not accepted for the transfer? Transfer to other engineering schools? Cost of 5 years vs 4? If son likes school #1, he may not want to transfer to school #2.</p>
<p>My son ended up applying directly into engineering program as freshmen. Excelling. Summer internship between soph and jr years and has one lined up for this summer (between jr and sr years). Has done research on campus (paid) soph year through now. Resume building!!</p>
<p>Lots’ to think about.</p>
