<p>how competitive is it to get into the political science major at cal?</p>
<p>Not competitive. Since it's in the college of letters and science (L&S), the major you declare on the app has no effect on admissions. In addition, poli sci is not an impacted major.</p>
<p>L&S</a> Major - Capped Majors</p>
<p>The only competition you have to face is getting into the university itself (which is tough competition in itself).</p>
<p>Political Science is not an impacted major at Cal, BUT it is increasingly difficult to get classes. I am a senior Poli. Sci. major, and even I don't count on getting into any Poli. Sci. classes beyond Telebears 1. It wasn't like this the past couple years, but last semester they significantly cut the class sizes. They cut many class sizes in half, when there was still the same amount of interested students! There are lots of great classes, but what's the point if you can't get into them? </p>
<p>I will say that for Fall 2008, a few of the classes have been expanded again, but still not to the size they were a year ago. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>i have a 4.1 UC GPA and a 2110...any hope for Cal under Poli. Sci?</p>
<p>Those numbers seen okay. The rest will be dependent on your ECs/awards, essays, etc.</p>
