changing majors on uc app?

<p>I realized that instead of PSYCHOLOGY, i listed "PSYCHOBIOLOGY" as my intended major for UCLA. I have not fulfilled the requirements for PSYCHOBIOLOGY and this pretty much screws my chances if not corrected. I also applied to UCB and UCSB with the correct major and wrote my personal statement in regards to psychology.</p>

<p>It is extremely late in the game but is there any possible way I can have this corrected????</p>

<p>Yes - e-mail or call the campuses.</p>

<p>I changed majors too. Each UC I applied to had their own way of doing it. I applied to UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and UCD.</p>

<p>when did you do this? i called and they said its too late i have to just wait for the decision which means im awaiting a rejection for sure. do you think appealing wll work?</p>

<p>I would like to know this too.</p>

<p>I wanted to change the major i applied to @ Davis and I called them in January and they told me it was too late =(.</p>

<p>I think that it is a bit strange that they would have told you it was too late back in January. I would have suggested that you mail Davis your request, but now that we are a only few days until April, I do feel that it is too late. However, if you are accepted into Davis within the same college as your intended major, I believe you will be able to change it then. I can’t say for sure though, as some UCs operate that way and others, such as UCLA, don’t. Have you talked with your counselor about it?</p>

<p>Since UCLA and Cal’s decisions are still nearly a month away, I’d go ahead and mail them your request of a major change.</p>

<p>UC Davis you have to enroll in your major for one quarter and then you can change your major but they don’t obligate you to complete all your prereqs. UCSD you CAN change your major right now. UCLA and Berkeley I have no clue about. I figure I am screwed for them simply because I dropped a prereq. I told them I was going to change my major in my letter explaining that I dropped a class so we’ll see. It’s possible that they didn’t mind but not probable.</p>

<p>thanks for the info cooldude! I remember hearing something similar about UCD, where you arent obligated/required to finish all prequisites, I really hope this is true because the major I applied for has way more unfinished prerequisites compared to the major that I wanted.</p>

<p>@ cooldude: do you need to be admitted to change your major or can I just e-mail them? I want to switch to Electrical Engineering from Computer Engineering.</p>

If you’re talking about UCSD I am not sure because I had a tag with SD so it didn’t matter. Regardless, I would just simply email them and request a change of major.</p>

<p>Yeah I meant SD, and I clicked I tagged, I guess I’ll go e-mail them right now :D.</p>
