Question about Switching from L&S to CCS

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Santa Barbara

<p>I applied for Physics in Letters and Sciences and received the reception invitation (LA area one) and we were told we were admitted etc. there. However, I realize now that I should have applied to CCS for Physics, as their track is harder and a better preparation for research and graduate school (which is my goal). Here are my questions:</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea how (un)likely it may be at this point to try and switch into CCS? </p>

<p>I plan on attending the 6-week summer program August 2nd-September 14th, anyone have any experience with how this may help with finding research to work in pretty quickly? </p>

<p>What are the biggest differences between CCS Physics and L&S Physics and is one "better" than the other?</p>

<p>Are Physics classes for Physics majors smaller or more intensive by default, as they're required for the major? (I ask because UCR accepted me and offered accelerated 8-unit intro physics classes my first year that were capped at 25 students/class)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Call them. One of the things they pride themselves in is being more personal than the large U. They can answer your questions, put you in touch with a current student, etc.</p>
