First, ask yourself if it is more important for you that you earn a degree in engineering, or that you have a chance to study anything at all at Brown?

If engineering is what is important to you, you need to make certain that you are also applying to other institutions with decent engineering programs.

If you don’t care what you study, so long as it is at Brown (assuming you are admitted), then you need to pick up the phone and call them about how you can apply to other divisions of the university.

If what you really want to ask is “If I get into another division and I do really well in a pre-engineering sequence, can I transfer into the engineering division after my first year?” then you need to ask that question while you have the Brown admissions office on the phone.
