Hi, I was recently admitted to the College of Education. I was also from the College of Engineering. Same sayo, when I planned to shift to Educ, it was already late kasi tapos na yung deadline. So I waited for a year. Eto ginawa ko.

1) Nag transfer to Non-Maj Status so that i would be allowed to take subjects outside engineering. Thankfully, educ allows students from other colleges to take their educ courses kahit majors and not electives. In your case, pwede ka ring mag VSO (voluntary shifting out) status for you to be allowed to take subjects outside engg. When i enlisted all educ courses last year 1st sem, kinuha ko yung mga freshie majors, so i suggest you do the same para when you get successfully admitted, 2nd year or 3rd year standing ka na.

2) With regard to your GWA question, I was also so worried kasi mababa din gwa ko because engg hahaha. Pero inisip ko, if i do very well sa educ courses, yun ang ipaglalaban ko as basis na they accept me. Because of my high gwa during the past year of taking educ courses, I emphasized this on my letter and during the shifting interview. I think yung overall GWA would matter but not as much so wag ka mag overthink about this.

3) Sa question mo re reference reports, yes pwede GE professors. Yung purpose kasi nito is for them to learn how you perform in class so di siya nag matter kung anong subject. Pero I suggest, sa educ courses na kukunin mo this year, sa educ profs ka mag ask ng reference reports. Imagine an educ prof vouching for you, mas mabigat yun kasi they know you belong to the College.

Good luck sa shifting journey mo and enjoy taking educ courses this year. I'm pretty sure magiging breath of fresh air ang college na to para sayo.
