<p>Some of my friends told me that a college rep told them from UCLA (unfortunately I wasn't there) that colleges factor in intended majors during the admissions process? So like some students choose a major that isn't heavily populated so just they could get in, and then switch majors midway (apparently the schools have already noticed that).</p>
<p>True?</p>
<p>Majors do have affect admissions at UCs because of impacted majors:

<p>(I know this is for CSUs but it’s basically the same thing).</p>
<p>In other words, some majors have higher standards because so many people apply for those majors.</p>
<p>Is it only for UCs or does it apply to most schools?</p>
<p>unless they stated that intended major isn’t a factor, I believe lots of schools considered it as a factor.</p>
<p>UCLA considered the major and you can’t change your major once you start your first day of school.</p>
