We don’t ask for your major when you apply to one of the schools. We ask about academic interests. That’s just to get to know the student a bit. No one in the School of Engineering has a major in the first year. Their data says that 80% of students declare a different one than what they put as their first choice academic interest!

We don’t have course requirements for engineers, but it would be smart to take physics in high school. If the student took physics in 11th, I’d be happy with either of the options presented for 12th.
