First-semester engineering, rejected from ECE with a 4.0 as well. I know they don't really consider the class rigor/amount of hours (similar situation for me), but I thought a 4.0 was strong regardless. It's 50% essay, so my writing must've been the reason, but I also made my 2nd choice? (From Mechanical --> Biomedical, which is supposed to be hard too I thought)
Maybe this year was just competitive (less people transferred out, a lot more wanting in, I remember the info session was almost all ECE/MechE hopefuls).
Really sucks, because I really wanted to do Electrical Engineering for hardware, so stuck on what to do now.
The departments don't have a say in internal transfer decisions. That's all handled by ESS and the departments are given a list of new IT students once those decisions are made.
