<p>Does anyone know how difficult it is it change from "undeclared" to an impacted major as a continuing student??</p>
<p>I think it's just as hard as changing from a non-bio major.</p>

Continuing students interested in changing to a biology major must complete an Exceptional Admission application.</p>
<p>Timeline for Students
2009-2010
freshmen
1) Admitted to biology via UC application
2) Apply for exceptional admission if undeclared or other major

<p>It depends on which major you're trying to switch to. BioE is the hardest to switch into. Others may be easier. I don't know how the process works. What do you want to switch to?</p>
<p>If you're not sure about what major you want to persue, but were accepted into an impacted major, would it be a good idea to stick with the impacted major, due to the fact that it would be harder to get back into it than a non-impacted major?</p>
<p>Yes, that would the selfish thing to do.</p>
<p>well i want to major in biology but this is the first year its impacted, so nobody has applied because the first cycle will be winter 2010. I was just wondering in general about the whole impacted major thing. I know nobody can tell me for the biology major but i just wanna know how the other impacted majors work, so i can predict how the biology will work. I just want to know how common switching to an impacted major is in general.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>switching into bioE is almost impossible. there are cases that people are allowed to take the same classes bioengineers take, but most of them are never declared that particular major.</p>
<p>Do you think that as a declared Computer Science major, I could get enough BioEngineering classes to make it a minor?</p>
<p>^ They wouldn't give you a minor in it. But, you could still take some classes. It works like this: you'd need to convince the professor teaching the course to let you add.</p>
<p>wow that sounds alot harder then what i read about the biology process.</p>
<p>I'm hopping that switching to bio wont be as difficult since the whole department is considered impacted not just one major, and you can still do the minor, plus i was thinking some people might change their minds since its so hard.</p>
