<p>How much does the major that you choose affect your admissions at UCLA and UC Berkeley?</p>
<p>I am not too sure but I heard that at UCB, the engineering pool is highly competitive. Majros do matter in uni.'s. For eg, this guy I know applied CS at CMU but CMU replied if u change yer major to something else, we'll accept you.</p>
<p>i think majors do have a large impact if you apply for math and science majors. UCLA and UCB both have tough engineering and science departments. I think avg. SAT for UCB engineering school is like 1500 so its pretty competitive. You should be fine if you just put undecided into the college of arts and science. If you put math or science then you need very strong math scores and AP tests scores in math/physics</p>
<p>It depends on the college and it depends on the major. Don't think there will be much difference at schools whether you choose psyche or poly sci, but when you applying to colleges that are made up of "schools", each of them may have different requirements and accept rates. I know that at CMU, getting into Computer Science is as selective as it gets. Getting into their Musical theatre program, and a number of their performing arts programs is also in the single digits. Not so for the Mellon School of Science or Tepper or Humanities and Social Science. There are many non selective colleges that have highly selective programs.</p>
<p>I understand that the majority of undergrads change their majors at least once. If a student accepted for a 'mediocre' program in a college and they want to take popular courses (eg: wanting to take CS at CMU when you're currently enrolled for literature) can this happen?</p>
<p>Someone mentioned that with colleges have minimum GPAs for you to change your majors. I know tnraferring to M&T program at Penn Wharton is impossible but how about other programs in general? How are most of them achieved?</p>
<p>Is Bio (premed) really competitive at UCB/UCLA/UCSD?</p>
<p>(don't hijack my thread! :D)</p>
<p>I think UCSD is top notch in the nation for their bioengineering program and UCLA and UCB are also very competitive. back to the original question:</p>
