<p>I have a 3.0 GPA 1760 SATs and got into Davis for communication</p>
<p>whilst my friend has a 3.7GPA 2070 SATS and got rejcted by Davis for Biology</p>
<p>I think UCD’s acceptance is largely dependent on your choice of major</p>
<p>I don't know about that...</p>
<p>I got accepted with a 3.3 GPA and 1840 SAT for biology. Then again, I could just be an anomoly. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>Sure applying to an impacted major won't necessarily help you but for the most part any top 50 school will have a broad admissions rubric that doesn't solely place value on numerical stats..</p>
<p>i got rejected 3.6 gpa and 1910 SAT for Mathematics major. </p>
<p>this sucks :(</p>
<p>Yes I think major has a HUGE part in it.</p>
<p>My friend got rejected with a 3.9 and 2000 sats.</p>
<p>My other friend got in with a 3.2 and 1700 sats. She applied under CROP MANAGEMENT.</p>
<p>Go figure.</p>
<p>I got into engineering with a 3.7 and 1970 SAT</p>
<p>I have pretty below-average stats and got in for Design, haha.</p>
<p>my GPA was 3.96, SATs were 1750 and i got into my alternative major, undeclared humanities :(</p>
<p>my first choice was neurobiology, physiology and behavior. i hope i can change to that when i'm there...</p>
<p>3.45 GPA , 1970 Sat's , got in under chem. engineering</p>
<p>i got into engineering with a 2.8 and 1990</p>
<p>I got into Sociology in L&S with 4.3 GPA and 1830 SAT.</p>
<p>got into Compsci/engineering</p>
<p>3.7/2000/800/720</p>
<p>rejected for 3.75 UC GPA and 1940 SAT for biological sciences</p>
<p>no word from irvine...</p>
<p>and yes, BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES major/college puts you in a separate and more competitive pool of applicants. i called them up about it.</p>
<p>Is animal biology an impacted major?</p>
<p>We now know for sure major has an important (VERY IMPORTANT from what I can see) role in your admissions. Even their FAQ says so now... after I got rejected.</p>
<p>Funny thing was that EVERYONE on this board said major plays NO ROLE. </p>
<p>Now I feel cheated and I FEEL VERY angry. My friends with lower stats than me got into my dream school because they had ridiculous majors no one chose. Bah... I'm just ranting now.</p>
<p>Where did it say so on the FAQ? :O I always thought that major plays no part too...</p>
<p>IMO i don't see how major wouldn't play a part, each major has a certain amount of slots they can fill, so obviously the more popular majors would be more competitive because more people are applying for that major.</p>
<p>I've always understood they have a certain number of spots in each COLLEGE, not major.</p>
<p>As in Engineering College/letters and sciences etc.</p>
<p>csspeedbump, that's correct. It would be an utter nightmare if they included prospective major as a factor in admissions since almost everyone changes majors at least once in college.</p>
<p>4.0 and a 2150, Got into Undeclared Life Sciences.</p>
<p>I don't know why I would have gotten in undeclared if major is such a big deal.</p>
