<p>I'm a freshman at a 4-year university applying for sophomore transfer. Does anyone have any knowledge on whether applying to specific majors to the following schools can heighten my chances for admission? </p>
<p>I know that the UC system has statistics online that show which majors are easier to be accepted to and I wanted to know if these schools have anything similar? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Virginia
North Carolina

<p>i know that FSU needs liberal arts majors so they will accept you if you have decent grades</p>
<p>Business, economics, and biology seem to be more competitive everywhere.</p>
<p>Is it advantageous to apply to specific majors instead of undeclared? I’m applying for sophomore status so I don’t need to declare. But I thought it might give me a better chance to apply to a major statistically and to show I have drive toward a certain department, faculty, etc. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>It depends upon school. UPenn, for example, accepts you to specific college, not specific major. UCLA accepts you to a department. Some schools accept you to a major.</p>

<p>This situation does not preclude distinguishing selectivity by major, though. Many colleges within a larger university have subcommittees for certain clusters of majors, or even individual majors. The recruiting goals for each of those clusters or majors will be specific to them.</p>
