I'm in kind of a tight situation right now and need some parental advice. I'll try to keep this short.
I am about to begin my undergraduate studies in a well-respected business program. I leave for college in four days. Here's my issue: I've realized that I want to study engineering. My college doesn't have an engineering program. I've thought about applying to transfer to a school with an engineering program after freshman year, but I can't do that because of the structure of the business program; I won't have enough math and science courses to be competitive for transfer. My school does participate in the 3/2 combined plan with Columbia, but I read such negative comments about combined plan programs. Right now, it seems like my only option is to take a last-minute gap year and reapply to colleges.
Am I missing something here? How should I convince my parents that this is the best option? I doubt if they'll take me seriously. Am I crazy to do this?
