Major dilemma in UC app

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>I’m pretty much undecided on my college major, but I’m beginning to suspect there’s an admit rate penalty for applying undecided to UC’s.</p>

<p>I may be reading too much into these admit stats, but the numbers
from the UC statfinder support my suspicion.

<p>For example, the Berk 2008 stats show 22.1% for in-state undecided
while it is 32.5% for Bio. So I’d be crazy to apply undecided to
Berk L&S, should rather apply to Bio and switch later right?</p>

<p>Or does the data simply mean the Bio applicant pool is skewed with more qualified applicants?</p>

<p>All it means is that the applicant pool is skewed. Berkeley L&S doesn’t even consider the major you put on your application; all freshman are admitted undeclared.</p>
