<p>Ive been accepted to ucla for the class of 2016 as a neuroscience major but I'm starting to get cold feet about that decision. If it turns out neuroscience isn't for me would it be difficult to switch out?</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re trying to get into an impacted/competitive major like engineering or business/economics. Just know that if you switch your major to something completely different (like from neuroscience to outside of the life sciences) you’ll have wasted your time on a number of pre-reqs depending on how long you waited before you switched.</p>
<p>Into majors in Fine Arts is very difficult, into majors in Engineering is difficult. Within the College of Letters and Science, easy.</p>
<p>I’ve been admitted as a (Pre) Economics major but recently I’ve become really interested in computer science. How hard would that change of major be if I wanted to do it?</p>
<p>Just went to an info session today - Communications is extremely hard, (4%) the lady said. </p>
<p>@messi12 - I’m definitely not a UCLA expert myself, but some people asked a similar question today at the Reception day here. I’m not sure about computer science, but each major has its prerequisites you must take, and a required GPA level. I just know that for communication, it would be 3.9 GPA and some courses.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to hijack the thread but…what about undecided students? Would it be difficult to switch to another major within the college of letters and sciences?</p>
<p>It’s not that hard to switch majors, especially within the same college (ie, L&S).</p>
<p>At orientation, you can change majors by just asking your orientation counselor. For reference, you are grouped into groups of 10-12 or so with others of the same major. So, I was in a group of 11 other pre-business economics majors. By the end of the 3 day orientation, only myself and another individual were still pre-business economics majors.</p>
<p>As for “business economics being competitive”, yeah, that’s a myth. The only competition is yourself to meet the somewhat high altered-GPA calculation (called a primary score) of 3.3</p>
<p>
Within the College of Letters and Science, easy. Whether you’re a declared major, or not.</p>
