<p>I am currently doing a 3-2 program abet accredited engineering program with Columbia. At the end of the year I can have a B.A. in chemistry and transfer to Columbia next fall and do the two year engineering B.S. at Columbia. The other option is to just take the B.A. and apply to some graduate programs. Because I have taken engineering courses my G.P.A should be around a 3.3-3.4. But my gpa without engineering classes is around a 3.7 meaning no differential equations , linear algebra, elementary physics, or thermodynamics. I am just curious if the people reviewing my application will put A LOT of weight on the classes I took over the cum. gpa, because I could of enrolled in easier classes for my electives to boost my gpa. The transfer to Columbia requires a minimum 3.0 science which I am guaranteed to keep. </p>
<p>If the question is not clear I am curious on how my application will be looked at. The engineering classes are designed to be brutal and Columbia recognizes this by having a low transfer gpa of 3.0. Where I could of taken non-engineering electives and maintained a significantly higher gpa.</p>
