Swapping majors after being accepted (UCLA)?

<p>This questions been asked a lot but i havent seen many science or engineering majors asking about it. I was accepted as a geology major and the geochem looks nice but ive been thinking about going back to a chem major. The pre-reqs for chem major are different, they require 1 year chem, 1 year math, 1 year physics or 1 year ochem. Ive finished chem, math and 2/3 physics and about to finish 1/3rd ochem this summer.</p>

<p>How do my chances look if I were to appeal for a major swap later? Is there anything i can do to have more a chance of swapping majors? (like high gpa first quarter or anything?) I'm still not sure which major id want to do but i was planning on talking to some more counselors for both majors when i start school again in the fall. Does anyone know any circumstances where people have been admitted to different majors after being accepted for a certain major?</p>

<p>EDIT: woops forgot i asked this question a while back, shouldve just revived old thread</p>

<p>also, does anyone know if we have to sign up for the college honors program? its written in our new bruins checklist but it doesnt look like a requirement</p>

<p>Regarding the honors program: 3.75 community college gpa or you can apply one quarter after ucla with your uc gpa</p>

<p>@Gio Is it required that we apply though? Or is it just an optional step?</p>

<p>Pretty sure you apply you should google ucla honors and it will bring up the website</p>

It’s definitely optional, it’s up to you if you want to be in it</p>
