<p>…you apply to the engineering program, then transfer out?</p>
<p>I just read a book (The Overachievers) and one of the characters’ teachers implies just that.</p>
<p>You can’t apply to any specific program at Stanford. You get accepted to the university, not into any program or major. You don’t have to declare a major till the end of your sophomore year (and you can always change it).</p>
<p>I wonder what the teacher was talking about, then.</p>
<p>There are schools where you have to apply for a specific major, and some majors are more competitive then oters. But not at Stanford.</p>
<p>haha, is the Overachievers a good book? i want to read it.</p>
<p>I don’t know what school it would be easier to get into the Engineering program though. Perhaps if you were an extremely numbers strong applicant but didn’t have much in terms of extra curriculars. I doubt it, however.</p>
