<p>I know Computer Science is or was one of them. When I researched about the majors as an incoming undergrad, I hardly ever heard of "impacted majors". But that phrase came up a lot of times in the transfer and change of major section.</p>

<p>EDIT: Checking those sections, I haven't been able to found information on what specific majors are impacted, both in the catalogue and in the Change of Major page.</p>

<p>GPA: w=3.75 (9-12);w=3.93(10-11)
SAT I : 1920
SAT II : Math IIC : 780
Chem :770
Physics : 720
US history : 670
AP Grades: Calc AB =5; Physics B=5; Chem =5
Cal-resident
EC:
-Couple of math/physics awards
-over 250+ hours of volunteering @ public library
-started with a couple of friends 2 new clubs : Indian Student Association and Physics Club
Major: computer science / alternate : chemistry
Thanks</p>

<p>so where do i stand in terms of chances
i only took a cp computer programming class in 11th grade (A-/A)</p>

<p>You're likely to get into the CS program. I highly recommend that you do some programming on your own. UCI's introductory course in programming, ICS21, somewhat assumes you know quite a bit on the basics of JAVA to begin with.</p>

<p>thanks birdkiller</p>

<p>anyone else ?</p>

<p>i know almost anything that has "computer" in is is probably impacted, but as an incoming frosh, it just means they have a higher admission standard and you may/may not be able to transfer in (and by transfer, i dont mean from a JC. i mean from one major to another). same goes with business admin. </p>

<p>and most of the arts (dance, drama, music, etc) you need to audition. </p>

<p>i tihnk tahts most of it.</p>

<p>I applied for Business Administration and Business Information Management as my alternative major. They considered me for Informatics instead. I then emailed them to be changed to Business Economics and I was admitted under that major.</p>
