[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switch majors into the engineering or business schools would be hard to impossible. Switching into a major in the college of science is likely not that hard. But, if they are STEM focused, it would make more sense to apply to a possible major in the college of science or just "exploring science" (the "undecided" major). Admit rate for in-state for that major is 61%.

Why wouldn’t VT let her switch into engineering ?

Isn’t VT desperate for more women in their engineering program? [/quote]

No, VT is not desperate for any kind of student.  The PPs are correct.  Impacted majors are only in engineering, business, and architecture.  Switching to any other major is no problem.  My own DC switched majors twice with no issues at all.  Advisor was very helpful.  But the switching was from one liberal arts major to another.

OP, another poster had a good suggestion for your daughter to apply to a STEM major from the get-go, or go undecided.  [/quote]
