[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undecided engineering major, BioE or chemE/materials; only applying to top schools that allow deciding later and easy to switch:

Penn ED
Princeton
Northwestern
Harvard
Hopkins
MIT
WashU
UVA(safety—100% accepted from past 6yrs with class rank and SAT, regardless of rigor and ours is top kid in everything)
Mich OOS(match from our private for top kids)

Is it difficult to switch between majors within engineering?  So for example, switching from BioE to EE.  My impression was that most kids take similar classes and that they can easily switch by 2nd year?  [/quote]

It depends very much on which 2 majors. BioMedE might require different courses from MechE starting as soon as 1st semester. Between AeroE and MechE probably one could switch as late as 4th semester. [/quote]

DS was interested in Biomedical (still is) but is also considering EE.  There is an overlap in what he wants to do between the two majors.  He had applied for Biomedical, but depending on this year's summer internship might choose to switch.  How easy is it to switch in the 1st or 2nd semester of freshman year?[/quote]
