Hi folks,
I'm a long time reader, but decided to join in and get my feet wet.
I've been filtering through discussions here looking for some insight into transferring between Civvy U's should I be accepted for ROTP.
I am currently studying in my first year of a BSc at Dalhousie University, my Civvy U of choice on my ROTP application.
As this semester progresses, I find myself struggling with subjects crucial to the major I had chosen to study on my application (Physics). At the time of submitting my application I admit I was unaware of my incapability to excel in the area of mathematics required for a Physics degree (Calculus), and have since discovered a more plausible course of study at Carleton University in Geomatics, where I would be more likely to strive academically. My application is for Pilot, which I understand is an occupation flexible on which degree you obtain.
Long story short, is it unheard of to either:
a) alter my university choice/major on an application which has already been submitted (Jan 9/12)
b) apply for a transfer right off the bat should I be offered placement in the program
I wouldn't entertain the thought of attempting to do this if my marks were even somewhat acceptable and the Physics degree seemed possible. I would rather take the flack now for attempting to switch programs than to be dismissed for failing courses should I make the cut.
Current status in the application process: CFAT, interview and medical are all passed with flying colours (excuse the pun). I am waiting on the call for CAPSS testing.
I await suggestions/insight... all very much appreciated.
