Transfer Students

<p>i plan to apply to ucla, I wonder if i get better chances if i apply for a major in the not as selective as other majors (business econ/econ/pysch,english) but as long i get admitted can i just do a double major there or actually switched my major?</p>

<p>My intended major is Business Economics/Economics and my not as seletive might be some cultures studies.</p>

<p>anyone know? b/c i will only be having 3.1/3.2 gpa and i took a look at the stats for busecon major it's like 3.8 >.< as for non-selctive ones they usually around 3.0-3.3</p>

<p>I've heard that it's really hard to switch majors once you get in...</p>

<p>...but that's just what I've heard.</p>

<p>According to some CCC'ers its extremely easy to change majors...in the department you're in.</p>

<p>The problem with that is that both Econ / Busecon at UCLA are almost identically impacted.</p>

<hr>

<p>Switching majors between two different departments is impossible (from what people here have been saying).</p>

<p>but i can always do a double once i'm accepted right? even though im not too sure about double majors.</p>

<p>btw thanks for teh replies</p>

<p>I am applying for transfer to UCLA with a non-impacted major (Foreign language) also. My plan is to pick up a business minor if I can though. That might work for you.</p>

<p>^ yeah i was trying somethig like that but instead i want a double major with econ, if i do get accepted to my non-impacted major (asian languages/cultures/internation relations or japanese)</p>

<p>you won't be able to double major in econ, it says on the website that you have to be admitted to this major.</p>
