<p>hey everyone i was just wondering, im not sure what i want to major in, and i dont want to apply undecided because so many people apply as that now that its become impacted perseand they can afford to be selective with it. I was wondering what an easy but not ridiculous major would be to try to get in on. I am interested in history, so i wouldint be lying, so i am thinking of applying that way, plus not many people apply as that so it shouldint be as competitive. ANy advice?</p>
<p>If you're applying to the College, it doesn't matter which major you select. Applying undeclared won't hurt you.</p>
<p>40% of entering freshmen at UCLA applied undeclared, meaning undeclared was the most popular "major." this is according to my education professor who used to be on the adcom for ucla</p>
<p>if you are a transfer, then it's a totally different story.</p>
<p>so that does mean going undeclared may be a dsiadvantage correct? any other advice people?
bump</p>
<p>no let me clarify. 40% were admitted as undeclared. the next most popular major is, i dunno, poli sci or econ or bio. i'm sure none of those account for another 40% of admits. if chances of admissions were based on majors, "undeclared" would be the best "major" to pick (unfortunately chances arent based on majors). </p>
<p>really, it DOES NOT matter what your major is if you're applying to the college of letters and sciences within UCLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>thanks kfc4u..i guess ill go undeclared maybe, but i felt history , since i am interested in it, may show like some initiative / desire / plan</p>
<p>UCLA doesnt care what you PLAN to major in (well, unless it's something impacted like film, music, engineering, etc.) and applicants dont necessarily need to show initiative/desire/plan. </p>
<p>besides, the average college student changes their major at least once! i'm sure college officials are understanding and aware of this. it's okay to be undeclared. it's also ok to put down a major you feel interested in (then change it when youre in college for whatever reason).</p>
