MAJOR:

Chance me for Following Majors Please: Mechanical Engineering (Viterbi), Applied and Computational Mathematics (Dornsife), Physics and Computer Science (Dornsife). Thanks!

Questions:

  1. Are majors within Dornsife harder/easier to get into, because I know that at UCLA the letters and science does not take major into account.
  2. Anything I can do to help make up for my poor GPA (even though my courseload is the “most rigorous”) USC is my number 1 choice! Thanks again!
