Is it harder to get into Dornsife or Marshall?

<p>And also, if I pick my major as undeclared when I apply, and I get accepted, how can I pick my major and switch into the school I want?</p>

<p>Marshall is wayyy more selective. If you apply as undeclared or as any major. You can change it as soon as your accepted. Just contact the department advisor and ask to change. </p>

<p>I applied as a political science major. And I tried to switch to marshall by sending the department an email (which normally works) but they told me that they had already capped admission for spring 2012 (which is when I start). So then I called the International Relations advisor and she changed my major over the phone, no questions asked. </p>

<p>Funny thing is, that happened about two weeks ago and since then I’ve decided to change it to East Asian Languages and Cultures, and I’ll do that at orientation. (I called and they said anyone can change their major at orientation)</p>

<p>*also you can switch to any major within Dornsife but for the other schools like Marshall and Annenberg they want you submit a reason why, whether its by email or submitting a small statement at orientation. Anytime after orientation, there will be an actual application process for the schools like Annenberg or Marshall.</p>

<p>Hope this helps :)</p>

<p>if you go into sc undeclared you have to apply to marshall separately. you can’t just declare it anymore.</p>

<p>Like everyone else said, Marshall (and all of the other schools) are far more selective than Dornsife.</p>

<p>A lot of people try to apply with an easy major and then transfer into a harder one, but it might not work out in your favor. I don’t know how it is in other schools, but in Cinematic Arts a lot of the classes are only open to certain majors and there are a LOT of requirements that you have to get through. Even one semester in a different major would set you back in regards to completing the requirements. Plus, the other schools will make you fill out an application anyway, and if you wait long enough you’ll be expected to complete all of the prerequisites (as you’d technically be an internal transfer). Why not just apply there from the beginning?</p>
