<p>nsws- what is your primary major for ucsb? and do you plan on attending?</p>
<p>@md21887, your decisions are still pending at many UCs however, so keep your head up for the next month! you may have to consider a CSU, in all honesty, because the major you chose is one of the most if not the most impacted major(s) in every university, essentially across the board. you have to be a top applicant (not just with GPA, but in any respect) to be a candidate for one of the few hundred spots they have open each semester. do not despair! you can get an excellent education at a CSU, and if you plan on doing graduate work, your GPA in undergrad is particularly important, therefore it is sometimes a wiser decision to choose, perhaps, the second or third easiest school rather than the most rigorous.</p>
