should u pick a general major to get in?

<p>Okay, here is what I found for you:</p>

<p>

All engineering students begin as freshmen in General Engineering, administered by the Division of Engineering Fundamentals. Details on becoming a GE student can be found at <a href=“http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/prospective.html[/url]”>http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/prospective.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Current Virginia Tech students in a college other than engineering who wish to transfer into the college should do the following: Go to the office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the College of Engineering, located in 212 Hancock Hall to file a request. However, before you can transfer into Engineering, you must have first taken at least EF 1015. In order to be enrolled in EF 1015 during Fall or Spring semesters, you should come to 332 Randolph Hall and put your name on the waiting list. You will be notified by e-mail if you are enrolled, although you should keep checking your schedule on Hokie Spa to make sure.</p>

<p>In order to be eligible to take EF 1015, non-Engineering students must have successfully completed the first semester of the appropriate Chemistry, Mathematics, and English as specified for General Engineering students. (This information is copied from the Engineering Fundamentals web site frequently asked questions page at <a href=“http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/faq.html[/url]”>http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/faq.html&lt;/a&gt;.)</p>

<p>The transition from General Engineering to a specific major within the College of Engineering involves the following. This is taken from the EF web site page at <a href=“http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/advising.html:[/url]”>http://filebox.vt.edu/eng/ef/efhome/advising.html:&lt;/a&gt; Students are transferred to their chosen engineering department upon completion of the required credit hours for their chosen major with an overall GPA of 2.0. Students who achieve the Dean’s List by maintaining a 3.4 or better GPA during their first semester and have made a decision on which program they want to enter are eligible to transfer to their intended departments at the beginning of second semester.
