Applying Undecided and then Switching to Engineering?

This is fine when you are deciding between two liberal arts majors (psychology and English for example) but it is definitely not a good plan when you are applying to a specific program like engineering. Many engineering programs require acceptance into the school or program. In addition, engineers start off with classes in their major right away and the classes are sequential so if you don’t start out in the program you might not be able to graduate in 4 years.

Colleges are very wise to the “game” of students applying to a less selective program and trying to then switch into a more selective program.
