Since the UC app requires an essay explaining your major choice is it an issue if I’m applying to different UCs for different majors? I’m applying to UCB for applied math and will be writing my essay about math but am applying everywhere else for CS. Will this hurt my chances for the schools where I am applying CS?
Math is an integral part of the CS programs so it should not hurt your chances if you write about it in the personal insight essays.
My D applied for ballet at some UCs (UCSB and UCI) and environmental science at others (UCB and UCLA) where the dance program isn’t so strong. It wasn’t an issue, she got into all of the programs.
