[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, the "better" the school, the easier it is to change majors. This applies mostly to private colleges. However, at strong engineering programs at public schools like the UC's, UIUC, Purdue, etc. there is much more gatekeeping.[/quote] I find it's largely Private vs Public. Most privates are not "direct entry to engineering", but entry to the university and you can easily change majors. it's the larger state schools with competitive engineering where it's difficult to switch. Most even with "direct admit to engineering" still require students to compete for actual type of engineering majors. Hence why my kids are at smaller private schools---so they can easily switch as needed and can still major in their desired major if they have a challenging semester. [/quote]
