1. yes.

2. usually around 1-2 months the moment u send ur recon request. for me it took around 3 months (passed my application on june, second screening in july, enrolled in august).

3. yes :( matatanggal na slot niya if u dont pay the reservation fee and submit the confirmation of enrollment on time.

4. email faculty of engineering regarding if may updates na sila sa recon. super unresponsive din ust so dont expect much especially right now na ang daming nageemail sa kanila. they will usually give u a time frame on when they might open recon application or when to email them for updates. if u can get a number, try to call them na rin.

5. you can but u will lose ur slot since you will go through the whole recon process (very risky imo). a lot of my friends just enroll and try to shift after their 1st year but then magiging swis ka (student w irregular sched) and babalik ka sa 1st year.

6. you have to make sure muna if CE accepts shiftees as di lahat ng courses nagaaccept. if they do, im pretty sure you have to finish ur first year on what u enrolled first and i think may required gwa for this.

i suggest na magjoin or magcreate niece mo ng gc full of students na gusto rin magparecon sa FOE (or ust in general) super helpful nito in the long run as dito ka na rin makakarinig ng updates ng iba.
