<p>Since you have not yet been admitted, you can submit a Program/Term Change form by Jan 12 asking to be considered for CS rather than CE. [U</a> of I Admissions: Application Change Request Forms](<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/forms/changerequest.html]U”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
<p>Just note that above is correct in that right now it is somewhat harder to be admitted to CS than it is to CE. Once admitted to a major you will not be able to change majors until beginning of sophomore year, which change you would request in second semester freshman year. There is no guaranty you can make the change and it must be approved by the CS department and the ability to transfer in will depend on first semester grades and on seats available in CS.</p>
