How likely is getting in with your alternate major?

<p>If you get rejected with your first major, what are the chances that you will get in with alternate one?</p>

<p>Is it just as likely as getting in with the first one? Does this change depending on the schools?</p>

<p>It depends on the campus. UCLA says for example

Since transfer applicants are reviewed based largely upon major-specific preparation course work, UCLA does not usually review transfer applicants for any other than their first choice majors. If you are willing to be considered for another major you can list an alternate major, but listing an alternate major does not guarantee that you will be considered for that major if you are not admitted to your first choice major.
