<p>If I apply as undeclared, will it be really difficult to choose Biomedical engineering as my major?
What if I apply as biomedical engineering, would I have a worse chance of getting into UCSD than applying as undeclared?</p>
<p>By biomedical engineering, are you referring to bioengineering?</p>
<p>Anyway, the way UCSD works, you are first admitted to the school, then admitted to your major - they absolutely do not take your major into account when deciding whether or not to admit you.</p>
<p>Now, because BioE is impacted at UCSD, what'll happen is that after you're admitted, the BioE department will take your info and decide whether or not to admit you into BioE. If you're not admitted, then you'll automatically be declared your second-choice major.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Do you know how many (roughly) get into BioE? My school doesn't have AP Bio, Chem, and doesn't offer Calculus BC... Does this pretty much kill my chances?
Also how hard it it to get into BioE after your 1st year(undeclared) in UCSD?</p>
<p>Besides BioE. I'm considering Computer engineering, Chemical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and electrical engineering. Are any of these Impacted majors?</p>
<p>I'm also into Optometry, Dentistry, Pharmacy <- What do I have to major in before I transfer to to a school of Optometry, dentistry, or pharmacy. I know UCSD has a school of pharmacy, but what about dentistry or optometry.</p>
<p>From admit day: It seems that 7000ish applied for bioengineering (the entire major with it's 4 submajors), only 3300ish got in. The average SAT score is around 2000 and gpa is around 4.20ish.</p>
<p>I think only bioE:general, and bioe:biotech are impacted... I'm not sure.</p>
<p>you have to check w/the graduate school that you are interested in, and take classes accordingly.</p>
<p>4.2 UC GPA :O so high :( my SAT score is 2040 but UC GPA is about 4.0</p>
<p>my gpa was only 4.0 (uc weighted), and I got into the bioE:premed. (note.. this major is NOT impacted)</p>
<p>BioE remed? whats that I thought BioE was impacted....</p>
<p>HELP
So if I want to do Engineering, it is best for me to apply as an engineering major? and If I apply as undeclared it will be very difficult to get into engineering?</p>
<p>If you want to do bioengineering, it is best to apply as a bioengineering major. It is possible, but extremely unlikely, to be admitted into the major later. Some forms of bioengineering, such as bioengineering premed, are not impacted, but I don't think they are worth doing if you aren't premed.</p>
<p>This doesn't apply to all engineering though. Only bioengineering and computer science are impacted. If you decided you liked mechanical engineering, I think it would be easy to change majors.</p>
<p>thanks .</p>
