Do I have a better chance of getting in if I apply as Bio major or Undeclared?

<p>Is Bio impacted? I hope not because I doubt I'll get in then. If it is then I will probably apply undeclared.</p>

<p>r u talking about bio sciences in general? or some of the stuff within bio?</p>

<p>Just apply bio major.</p>

<p>if you want to backdoor you'd just get owned.</p>

<p>Biological Sciences</p>

<p>Is it impacted though?</p>

<p>Doubtful. I don't think many majors are impacted at Irvine. If its not impacted at Berkeley/LA/SD (SD being rather good for bio), then I don't think Irvine would.</p>

<p>You have a better chance if you apply for undeclared. However, starting in undeclared and trying to get into biology is going to be a huge hassle. I would avoid it at all costs. </p>

<p>BioSci is not impacted, but it is definitely more difficult to get in than other majors such as those in the social sciences. This goes the same for any UC.</p>

<p>^How so? I thought undeclared within a college is the same as declared for LS. What does one have to do to transfer to another major within a college.</p>

<p>UCI offers an undeclared/undecided major which serves as a general undeclared major. It is not in its own school.</p>

<p>I'm leaning towards Undeclared for UCI and Bio Sciences for UCR. Does that look stupid them?</p>

<p>Nothing looks stupid since major simply doesn't matter (plus I doubt they'd have the resources to look up what you applied to UCR for). The first two years of undergraduate education is generally focused on finishing off GEs anyways, so there isn't much differentiation within CL&S classes for different majors.</p>
