Can I change the major I applied to at tech?

You can email the admissions department with a request to change your major from nanoscience to engineering as if you want engineering you have to do it now (and be accepted).

As you were deferred in Early Decision for nanoscience I would think with Engineering being a much harder department to get in to that may be self defeating.

I believe though if you list it as Engineering with second choice nanoscience you are able to get in nanoscience if rejected from Engineering. I’m not sure if that is a disadvantage with them knowing its your second choice.
