<p>A weeks ago I found out I have enough units to transfer. I have a spring and winter semester to figure out and complete my major requirnment. </p>
<p>I have most of my IGETC done.
3.8 GPA
2 jobs
Student Government.
Scholars Program.</p>
<p>My question is. What are some majors that have little major pre reqs.</p>
<p>I know History is one.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to do Poli Sci?</p>
<p>Tomorrow morning is my enrollment date for both winter and spring. Due to budget cuts , classes are limited so I need to know my plan by then</p>
<p>Could anyone help me out?</p>

<p>[Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org %5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org )</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely use assist.</p>
<p>If you plan on transferring in Fall 2010 you need to choose a major by 11/30… and write an essay about it.</p>
<p>why didn’t you decide on one before your last full semester?</p>

<p>I’m high school class of 09. </p>
<p>Lets say that I do the Poli Sci series for UCLA and I don’t get in.
Can I put down history as my second major choice even though I haven’t completed any pre reqs for it?</p>
<p>From my undrstanding UCLA doesn’t really consider your second choice major unless you are a TAP student</p>
<p>that’s not a good idea. some speculate that they only look at alternative majors for students in TAP.</p>
<p>Philosophy has little prereqs. English has a couple. Find one where the prereq isn’t offered at your CC.</p>
<p>Anthro is really fun, 3 prereqs & not impacted</p>
<p>antro is a really cool major</p>

<p>meh anthro. :D</p>
<p>so if i go for poli sci, the impacted major, and not get in…i don’t get in?</p>
<p>noOo, if they reject you it means that you are admitted to the school.</p>
<p>without sarcasm this time:</p>
<p>if you don’t get into the major you applied for, you don’t get into the school</p>

<p>freaking berkely kids and their sarcasm </p>
<p>I just figured they would fit you in some where with a related major or second choice major. </p>
<p>What you think of my chances though</p>
<p>depends on the major and your grades for the prereqs</p>

<p>Talked to my counselor.
FYI
You can choose a second major that doesn’t have the pre reqs at your school and is not impacted as your back up.</p>
<p>Also, you don’t need all of your prereqs completed. You’ll be considered regardless. </p>
<p>Winter I’m taking Poli Sci 1 H</p>
<p>Spring
Poli Sci 2 Honors Comparative Government and Politics
Poli Sci 7 International Politics
Poli Sci 14 Middle East Government and Politics
Poli Sci 51 Honors Political Philosophy
Soci 1 Honors Intro Soci
Psych 1 Honors General Psych</p>
<p>FYI
You can choose a second major, but unless you’re in TAP, it means nothing.</p>
<p>FYI
Yes you will be “considered” because you paid them $60 to “consider” you. It’s foolish to not try and complete all your major pre-reqs</p>
