<p>I just found out that I've been accepted as a Regent's Scholar, and according to the UCSD admissions site, Regents Scholars are "guaranteed admission to the college of their choice at the time of admission as indicated on the UC Application for Admission." But now that I'm revisiting the colleges again, I'm having some doubts about the one I ranked first. Or maybe I'm just second-guessing for no reason . . .</p>
<p>How difficult is it to switch from one college to another? What kinds of reasons have been accepted as reasonable explanations for the switch? Is it true that a switch would take a full year to complete because of paperwork and whatnot?</p>
<p>If you don’t mind OP, I have a similar question that I want to post here.</p>
<p>I applied to UCSD as a Political Science major, but I’m second guessing my choice. I want to pursue business and economics with a computer science or med minor. How hard will it be to change the major and how do I go about it?</p>
<p>Maybe this is a stupid question, but are all freshman initially considered undeclared?</p>
<p>@etg2013: I’m not trying to be rude or anything, but you might want to start a new thread about majors specifically. And as far as I know of, the impacted majors would be competitive, but I’m not sure about the others.</p>
<p>It’s POSSIBLE to switch colleges after you have completed their writing course, if you can show that it will let you graduate faster, and if there is somebody to switch with you. That being said you most likely wouldn’t be able to switch until after your first year and you also most likely won’t want to switch anymore at that point. But it’s possible.</p>

<p>You can switch your major whenever you want by logging on to TritonLink and clicking “Major/Minor” and then switch major. It’s pretty much as easy as that. There is no business major at UCSD though just in case you didn’t know.</p>
<p>From what I heard, it’s just super hard to switch into another college and I’ve never heard of any freshman being able to do so yet. What $KingsElite$ said was true. Like because of UCSD’s six-college system, this is one of the most popular concern of freshmen. I mean it kinda sucks if you get admitted into Revelle (not trying to say that it’s bad or anything) or the one that you dislike the most; however, the longer time you spend in college, the more you’ll give up changing college trust me. Like for freshmen, it might seem like you’ll die having that many GE’s and everything but maybe later you’ll be able to accept it.
What I am saying is that don’t think or wish to be able to switch into (college of your choice), because it’s very unlikely that they’ll let you do so.</p>
<p>Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the feedback; after researching my college some more, I guess I was being a bit rash about the idea of switching because the college actually is appealing–just had a bit of a panic attack. I wonder why UCSD is so inflexible about letting people switch…</p>
<p>@etg2013: No hard feelings! I just meant that you might be able to attract more replies specifically directed to your question if you started your own thread.</p>
<p>Some students do not like Revelle college because it has the most general elective challenging courses compare to other colleges at UCSD. It requires students to spend a lot more time and effort to study. You should be proud of yourself if you graduate from Revelle college.</p>
