Hi, I recently got accepted to UC San Diego with my college being Warren and major being Cognitive Science, my alternate major. I chose Computer Science as my main major and I was wondering if I could change my major to Computer Science or maybe even other engineering majors.
You can try to transfer into Computer Science at the end of each quarter at UCSD. Admission is based solely on GPA. Prior to applying, you need to pass four courses: CSE 8B or 11, CSE 12, CSE 15L, and CSE 20 or Math 15A. The odds of getting in vary from quarter to quarter; it’s difficult, but not impossible. Other engineering departments have a similar process with different prerequisite courses. Many students also consider majoring in Mathematics-Computer Science or other related disciplines.
Do they look at your GPA from all your classes or only the CSE classes?
Thanks
@zjh828266 Only your CSE classes.
I am in the same boat, but I want to go from pharmacological chemistry to molecular biology. Does this change the competativeness of switch because it is a Bio Major?
@Dawg619 you can transfer to pretty much any non-engineering major by clicking a button on your portal. it’s really easy
