The only way I would pursue that strategy is if 1) my MCA would be close to being competitive for the destination major anyway and 2) that I’d be happy in the original major if I was denied. Every college is governed by the overriding rules of the university. They are vague for a reason…to give the school a mechanism to block back dooring. May consider means absolutely that. A student isn’t barred from attempting and may well be successful, but they will not be guaranteed. It’s risky. Leading a student to believe it is “easy to do” only tells part of the story. It’s easy for some and impossible for others. It’s ALWAYS easiest to start in your preferred major.
On a more interesting note, the OP ghosted out without supplying the information necessary to say how competitive they would be. They might be a great match for EE anyway.
