I have been accepted to University of my choosing to study Computer Engineering. However, since I applied I've already discovered in no way, shape, or form, do I wish to study computers at the college level. I'm much more interested in Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics, and wish to forget the in-depth computing idea altogether.
So there's this scholarship that I'm highly competitive for within the Computing department for freshman undergraduates, and I'm wondering if it's worth changing my major now to Physics or Math or Mech Eng. and losing the opportunity of that scholarship (at this point all scholarship money is merit-based and so will be pocketed and not really a necessity), or just sticking it out with Computer Engineering till the first semester and then switching?
I guess the basic question is, switch now and lose out on a thousand or so dollars, or just wait cause they'll be mostly Gen. Ed. classes anyways and take the first semester of money?
Thanks for your help in advance! (And I hope this doesn't sound like a greedy situation... but money is money and if I am awarded the scholarship I think I've earned that money either way.)
