Nope, it shows Pre Sciences. I applied as math major tho.
I was just accepted into engineering undeclared!
However, I was wondering if I were to take the path of completing my first two years as an engineering undeclared, would I still be guaranteed an engineering major if I got rejected once again into computer engineering, my intended major? I wouldnāt mind going into EE if that were the case. I was also wondering if I werenāt able to get a major that I wanted, would the credits I completed in my first two years be able to be transferred to a different university?
I couldnāt find much information on this so any help would be much appreciated!
I got accepted!!

Since you canāt appeal your direct to major decision, what is the process of getting your preferred major? Do you pick after your first year?
