Speaking specifically for Penn, 1/2 of the incoming freshman are undecided. Of the 1/2 who are decided, 1/2 change their major by end of sophomore year. You do not need to declare until then. There is some flexibility in transferring from CAS to the college of engineering. Although there is a risk that if you were to do that you may have missed some basic math and science courses and you’ll need to catch up to complete an engineering degree in 4 years. Transfer from CAS to Wharton is difficult. But some student do successfully transfer. To apply for a transfer there are basic courses that you would have had to have taken – e.g. accounting and certain math courses. If you stay within CAS you’ll have considerable flexibility, enough so to double major if you choose.
