<p>I am a senior in high school and submitted my college applications to Cal States online in November. Now, looking back I want to change my major as I realize it is not something I wish to pursue anymore and may jeopardize my chances in getting into the colleges I applied to, as it is very impacted and competitive. I was just wondering if was possible to edit the major I selected on my application.
I screwed up and now I'm really worried that I won't be accepted into any colleges.
Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>You cannot change majors for the Cal States until you are accepted and attend your choice school orientation. Your admission decision will be based on your original major stated on the application. Also many students try to do the “back door approach” by selecting a non-impacted less competitive major to get the acceptance and then switch later. Admissions is well aware of this, so for many campuses, more stringent requirements for switching majors have been instituted. Depending upon which campuses you applied, many to all majors may be impacted at each particular campus such as SDSU/Cal Polyb SLO/CSULB etc… You can always contact admissions at each school to see if it is possible.</p>
