Deciding a Major

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

Hey CC,

Asking this for a friend,

My friend has a 3.9 W GPA and a 1400 SAT, and he is hoping to get into UCI for either BioSci or CogSci. Would Undeclared be a smarter decision in this case? What major should he pick for his primary and alternate? I’m not familiar with how majors impact admission, so I would appreciate some help on that matter.

Thanks!

I suppose this question could apply to any college really :stuck_out_tongue:

UCI admits into the University first and then into the major. They also consider alternate majors, so my advice is have him select one major as his 1st choice and the other as his alternate. Going in Undeclared can be problematic and no guarantee he will be able to switch later.
