How to Switch Major

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am filled with questions as my despondency has sunk to a new low! I am applying to UCLA and USC this fall from a California city college. I will have a 3.8 gpa. I also have an internship and am part of the journalism staff at my city college. I am taking 1/2 communication major prerequisites & 1/2 social science prerequisites. I plan to declare myself as majoring in either Anthropology or Women's Studies. How difficult would it be for me to switch majors after hypothetically earning acceptances into the schools? I would attempt to switch into Communications or perhaps double major. I know the schools discourage this, which is why I am willing to wait a year to switch majors. </p>

<p>Would I be applying into the major? Communications is highly impacted - students generally have a 3.9+ gpa. </p>

<p>Would it be equally as difficult to double major? My gpa is inadequate. </p>

<p>Please help me! I would appreciate it very much...</p>

<p>You can try, but don’t be too depressed if you don’t get it. Double majoring would likely be very difficult, I wouldn’t try it.</p>

<p>Ok, I will keep that in mind. Thanks! :)</p>
