SCS students double major quite often and so do many others. The key is the substantial overlap in required courses in many programs such as SCS/ECE or SCS/Math

MechE as you have already observed is very different from SCS-- close to little overlap.
Chances are from APs you have the credit for what little overlap there is in the first year: Physics, Chem, AP Com Sci and Calc (most CS students come in with most of the science , calc and cs done). CS students need 4 science or engineering classes. MechEs need to take specific science classes-- one year physics and chem.

It would be an incredible stretch- but doable.
Have you considered a CS minor or Robotics Minor instead of a CS major?

You don’t transfer into CS- you simply add the second major after you complete the required courses – new curriculum, 122, 150, 210 at minimum plus math concepts.

Best bet, concentrate on your MechE classes and take a CS class asap in fall rather than freshman english.

The two advisors you need to talk to are Kurt Larsen in CIT and Jacobo Carrasquel in SCS – these are the freshman advisors.

This will be much more doable if you get 5s on all your AP exams in May.

BTW --nice job on the fence painting-- !
