I’m an International student with a
GPA: unweighted 4
SAT: 1300 (math:740 Reading:560)
SAT2 Math: 720
I recently got reject or defer from other universities, I didn’t actualy notice how competitive of the major cs
So I was wondering if anyone know which engineering major is a easier one to get in that I can change before the end of January
The awkward part is that I wrote half of my essay that I like cs, so would it matter if I change the major to something else.
UCI admits into the University first and then into the major. They also consider your alternate major so if you specified an alternate major, they could accept for your 1st choice, alternate and sometimes Undeclared.
Did you select an alternate major you would be happy with? Not sure about the easiest major for an acceptance since UCI does not breakout their admitted stats by major, but the major with the least amount of applicants is Material Science Engineering.
I did choose biomedical engineering for alternate, and by what your saying is that the major you pick wouldn’t effect my chance of getting in?
Yes and no. Like I stated, you can be admitted into UCI but not into either major and may end up as Undeclared. Changing into a competitive major can be difficult to nearly impossible due to impaction but there is always the chance if you care to pursue it. If you really want CS, then wait to see where you get in as a direct admit.
Thanks for your help
