Wait List or Transfer from A&S to Swanson (Engineering)

Hi, I have a small query regarding the transfer. I got into Pitt A&S (pre-med), and I wanted to know how difficult it could be to transfer to SSoE? I want to do medicine later, but in the events I do not get into med school, I think engineering would have more career prospects.

<p>Contact OAFA now. Getting into SSOE is harder than getting into A&S so there is no guarantee that you can transfer in, however, if it’s possible, I would definitely start out in SSOE instead of A&S (the credit transfer from SSOE to A&S is easier than A&S into SSOE). </p>

<p>If you cannot transfer in before term, you’ll want to take the typical freshman courseload; Chem 1&2, Physics 1&2, Calc 1&2 (or whatever level of math you are starting at, you’ll eventually Need Calc 1/2/3, DiffEq, and Linear Algebra), some engineering approved elective, and if you can get in as an A&S student, Engineering 1&2 (if not, you can take the 1-term transfer class in fall of your sophomore year). Provided you maintain a decent GPA (I think 3.0?) you can apply to transfer into SSOE at the end of your freshman year and basically not be behind.</p>
