<p>I know some schools like Cal and UCLA don't consider an alternative major. However, what do you guys think about the schools that say they do consider alternative majors? I am putting down majors that are harder to get in for those schools, and I also put down an easier major to get in for the alternative. Is it better to just put the easier major as my first choice than as an alternative? Do the schools that claim to consider alternative majors really consider them?</p>
