<p>I’m applying to Davis primary major: bio (microbiology), and secondary major: either another bio, or life sciences undeclared</p>
<p>My main question is that if I get rejected for my primary major but I make it in for secondary major: undeclared- life sciences, how hard would it be to transfer into a real bio major? And I would want to get it done ASAP, so how long would it take?</p>
<p>Is it a smart or stupid move to select another bio major as my secondary major?</p>
