<p>If you choose a major on your application that is not impacted (history, english, international relations) does it help your admission? Or is it just the same as ‘undeclared’?</p>
<p>I am not sure about UCs, but your idea makes a lot of sense & has been successfully used in the past at other schools.</p>
<p>As UC Admissions has stated before, there are no "impacted" majors at UCD because their admissions practices prevent majors from becoming "impacted."</p>
