Hey there,

I was accepted into CE as a transfer, but not going to stick with it (for a lot of the reasons you said), and am instead looking at CS (possibly with the bioinformatics focus) or some other engineering discipline (I’m not sure which one, but not EE or CE). I’m having a hard time because I’m considering giving the classes for med school a run and it seems like they’ll get covered by the bioinformatics specialization.

Do you know anything about the bioinformatics specialization? I think it may be a good cohesion of my interests and goals but still have the itch to pick a more classical major within Jacobs if I can. Also, do you think a good GPA is attainable in CSE? I know I sound pretty “typical” but I’m just trying to leave all my options open because I have scattered interest and goals lol.
