Impact on Chances?

<p>I chose a competitive major when I applied to the UC schools. Will this impact whether or not I will be admitted?</p>

<p>well, no point in worrying about it now, right?</p>

<p>When you say “competitive”, do you mean impacted? If so, then yes, admission for impacted majors is more difficult. I don’t think we know just how severely a major is impacted, so there’s no point in worrying about it know.</p>

<p>My intended major was computer science. And I know that it is probably one of the most competitive majors out there. Will this bring down my chances?</p>

<p>Do the UC’s admit straight into the major, or do they just accept into the university itself?</p>

<p>computer science in L&S? choice of L&S major doesn’t affect admissions; you come in undeclared anyways.</p>

<p>Indiscreetmath is correct for your first question. As to your second question, it depends on the school. For example, I am applying to Cal for BioE. If I don’t get the major, I get rejected from the school as a whole. I am also applying to UCSD, where they can reject from BioE but admit me as undeclared. Each school has their own policy.</p>

<p>That’s a relief. I applied to L&S in Berkeley.
@mantell: For UCSD, if I am not admitted into my major, I may possibly still be admitted into the school?
Would anyone happen to know how it works at UCLA and UCSB?</p>
