Changing Major after Admission

Hey, i’m posting this for a friend.

After being accepted to a UC, how can you change your major? What are the forms and process? and does it affect your admission? Will they reevaluate u again if u go from the school of L&S to undeclared?

<p>you have to fill out change of major form. i don't know the exact process check out the school's websit that you got accepted to. </p>

<p>and yeah major did affect if yuo were accepted or not, especially if you applied for a competitive major like engineering. and i don't think they "re-evaluate" you when you change majors. you just have to meet the requirements of declaring the major which basically means doing well the the required classes. </p>

<p>and also the "undeclared" major is usually housed in the L&S school</p>

<p>Thanks for the response j3ff.</p>

<p>If you're admitted to an engineering major that would make you somewhat qualified with the requirements, considering how competitive it is. So, would you say that it'll be really easy to change to undeclare then? What about the space available issue. Is there such thing as a limit to how many undeclared freshmen there are?</p>

<p>As far as I know, there's no real point in changing if you're an entering freshman. The major you put on your form becomes your proposed major at the university, which holds little relevance beyond some majors which require a pre-major workshop (art at UCSC is this way).</p>

<p>No one knows major quotas. They say it doesn't matter which major you apply under, which would suggest that they wouldn't care if, somehow, all their applicants majored in English (or whatever). As this doesn't happen, there's in all likelyness a percentage of students they accept -- but if you're accepted, it doesn't matter a bit.</p>

<p>If you do for some reason need to actually talk to someone (ie, to really declare your major), then you can check websites and the department offices of your proposed major.</p>

<p>i don't think there's a limit for undeclared freshman, it is the largested "major"</p>
