I don’t know if there have been many similar threads like this, and in that case, I apologize for starting a redundant thread.

Anyway, I’m junior chem major at a school that has no engineering school. My overall gpa isn’t terribly impressive being around 3.0 while my major GPA is about B+. More important, I don’t think I will enjoy my future career with a degree with chemistry. I want to transfer to a school and major in chemical engineering, but I also heard you can go to grad school to get master’s in ChE with chem. Either way it will probably take 1-2 extra year for me. Which is a better choice? Honestly it’s hard to picture myself being a grad student for a few reasons.

BQ: Will colleges accepts students who try to transfer after junior year? Does it depend on each school’s policy? Sorry I don’t know much about college transfer.

Thanks in advance.
