Switching colleges is very frowned upon. What I’d suggest is calling the Sixth College Academic Advising people during their office hours and ask about the possibility of graduating in three years. I’d say that it’s very unlikely in any college, because engineering here is notoriously drawn-out. I’m a CS major, so I should know.

When I’ve repped the university at admit days and preview days, they’ve told me that there is essentially no changing colleges, so I’d stick to that. And honestly, I have a friend who’s in Sixth and loves it (he’s an engineering major as well).

As for your APs, honestly most of them won’t help you either way. The two physics scores collectively get you out of one class, the calc another two, history is pretty much the same for both, bio doesn’t really matter, same with env. sci, same with stats, and same with compsci unless you get a 5. Chem I’m not so sure about for EE majors. In all honesty, though, AP credits matter much more on the university and major level than on the college level.
