Does major matter?

<p>I got rejected from UCSD which is a bummer and now i feel like i can't get into UCLA or UCB. I applied as a history major for all three schools. my GPA is pretty good (4.2-4.3 depending on whether first semester counts) and 2000 on SATs. I am taking 6 AP classes this year and got 5.0 first semester. My question is: is it likely that I got rejected from UCSD based on my major or some other reason? And do I still have a shot at getting into UCLA or UCB?</p>

<p>Don't give up yet... you're still a good candidates for the schools and its too late to be obsessing about things you can't change. I don't think history is that common a requested major at UC schools.</p>

<p>thanks. im just getting nervous because i reallly want to go to one of them.</p>
