Transferring from Physics to Engineering Undergrad

AI Thread Summary
Transferring from a physics program to an engineering program at university is generally feasible, even for students who have not completed grade 11 or 12 chemistry. Many universities allow students to change their major after enrollment, provided they meet certain academic requirements. It is advisable for students to check specific university policies regarding major changes and any prerequisite courses that may be needed for the engineering program.

Hello everyone, I'm a 17 year old high school student from Ontario, Canada. I have recently applied to a few physics programs, and I was just wondering if it was possible to transfer into an engineering program once I am in the university.
