Still had time, at that point, to shift gears and fulfill a different major, at the depth of coursework he desired. If he was just finding out junior year that chem e was not for him, he would have had that much less room to swerve otherwise. Without taking more time, that is.

It’s even worse than that. While a 3/2 student is considered a junior at the engineering school, its actually her/his 4th year of college! Lousy time in terms of money spent and lost opportunity to find out you don’t want to be an engineer after all…</p>

<p>The OP isn’t even responding in this thread anymore, BTW. It seems he was able to decide 3/2 weren’t a good fit for him. And I would strongly suggest anyone else reading this thread and considering a 3/2 program to be sure to find out how many students enter and actually transfer at the schools they are considering.</p>
