<p>Accepted anthropology major at Berkeley for Spring 2013, but I'm now realizing I don't really want to major in Anthro. Has anyone heard of someone changing their major as a transfer?</p>
<p>If I understand correctly, and I very well may be completely wrong, that you were accepted into the School of Letters and Sciences so once you are at Berkeley you could switch to a major in L&S.</p>
<p>UCBhopeful16 is right. You can change your major at Berkeley if you meet all the requirements.</p>
<p>Yup, you are just admitted to L&S so you would have to petition to declare Anthro your first semester anyway, you can just declare something else. But your new major has to be in L&S, you can’t try to transfer into Haas or something else. Though maybe one of the other schools that isn’t as impacted might let you transfer in.</p>
<p>Thanks guys,
Thinking of transferring into CNR, Society and Enviornment sounds more appealing than straight Anthro.</p>
<p>The good thing for you is that there are several majors that don’t demand that you have any prerequisites finished by the time you get there (mainly b/c they’re not available at community colleges).</p>
<p>If you’re positive you don’t want to study anthropology, it would probably be a good idea to do some research and have at least 2-3 programs that you’d be happy taking (in case your first choice doesn’t work out).</p>
