Thanks - still a little confused though. I applied to Columbia as a BME major, but I am also interested in IEOR Financial Engineering. How difficult is it to transfer into this program from a BME major? I heard there are limited spots. Either way, SEAS has other majors I would consider (Applied Fizzix/Math).

Relative to other engineering majors in SEAS, how rigorous is BME?

Also, could a Columbia student comment on the overall experience? Are you happy there? How long did it take to adjust? Did you feel overwhelmed? What is a typical weeknight? weekend night?
