<p>It asks you to list a alternative major. Does this mean that they will consider the applicant for two seperate majors..</p>
<p>For Example:
if my first major choice is: Physics
-and i dont get in</p>
<p>will they consider me for my second choice major.</p>
<p>Thanks A lot!</p>
<p>No. If you’re applying for majors other than Engineering, I believe, there won’t be admissions based on your major.</p>
<p>take a look at [UCSB</a> Admissions : Selection Process](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/SelectionProcess.asp?section=selectionprocess&subsection=reviewprocess&selectiontype=prospective_freshman]UCSB”>http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/SelectionProcess.asp?section=selectionprocess&subsection=reviewprocess&selectiontype=prospective_freshman) and look for the word “major” in the doc (use edit-> find on firefox). This tells you when it matters.</p>
