BC alumni telling me not to go to BC? How good is BC "Science Department"?

<p>Thanks everyone for such great advice and info! I am not sure what I want to study now. Physics, math, Bio and Chem all of those areas of science interest me and I want to be either an engineer or a physician. Since BC has all types of science programs, my friends are telling me to go to BC, take some science courses with others and then transfer to either BU/ Tufts/ MIT/ Northeastern/ WPI after my freshmen year since all of those schools have both engineering and medical. </p>

<p>Some of them are telling me to hold my spot for 1 year at BU and WPI.
-Do you think it’s a good idea?
-Can I transfer my credits after a year if I hold my spot at those schools?
-Will I get good/better financial aid then? (Right now BC is giving me the most money)
-How easy it will be to transfer from BC to BU/WPI/Tufts/NorthEastern? (If I manage to get mostly As and Bs) Will they reject me as a BC student?</p>
