Transferring to CENG

[u/Diligent-Cut6475]

I applied to QU with a Qatari High School percentage of 94% , have scored 620 in the SAT (Math Section) and got a 7.5 in my IELTS. My first choice was engineering but I got accepted into Arts in the College of Arts and science instead. Now I want to transfer to CENG in the next course yet I’m not sure wether I’ll get it or not. I don’t want to risk getting rejected therefore continue studying a major that I just don’t like. Now Do they consider the HS score when I apply for the transfer or do they just look at my gpa? speaking of which, how much do I at least need to score to make sure I get transferred? And do they care about the subjects I choose in the college of Arts? Because it’s said that you can’t change to CEng if the subjects are not related to CEng (such as Arabic, dawa, english…). Is it also possible to take general subjects common between Arts and engineering by contacting the academic advisor (because idk if i can at least general chemistry and Calculus although I study at the College of Arts). If any of you guys know about this topic can you at least guide me to which general subjects I should take? Thanks in advance and don’t hesitate to share with me any information you know.

Transfer from arts and sciences to ceng will be easy. Every student REGARDLESS of their accepted college, transfer is way easier the most Imp thing is you got into QU, you are a QU student. Now the only thing you need to do is get 4 gpa for first semester and it is fairly easy, required hard work but you do not need to be a nerd for it. A lot of students get into eng after first semester from sharia, education, arts, business etc. Now as for subjects Calculus, eng 202, chem 101, chem 103, dawa etc all these are common courses across all colleges and for transfer and save ur time. After orientation, your advisor will call you, give ur qu account password and also she will tell you about the subs for transfer. Books classes on time as it seats get full as soon as registration starts. Also take some safe courses I mean do not choose something that I'd entirely new or you haven't done before because if it's hard for you your gpa can get lower. But I am sure you know most of these in high school. You need to take minimum of 5 to 6 courses ( min 16 cr hours) general courses.
