<p>I'm applying to all my schools as a psychology major, with the exception of Berkeley where I put cognitive science as my first choice and psych as my alternative. The reason being that out of all the school offering cog sci, I was only had time to fulfill the pre reqs for Berkeley. How do I address both majors in my personal statements without merging to two as similar majors (or would that be okay?) or sounding too vague?</p>
<p>its okay to acknowledge both as similar majors. they kind of are. similar in a sense like sociology is similar to psychology.</p>
<p>you can highly specific details for each major that really stand out for you for each of the majors. </p>
<p>are you asking this because you want to use the same essay across all UC apps? lol
i wouldnt try to sound too vague especially if this is going in as your major you’re applying for. it might not show you learned much in taking all the pre-reqs.</p>
