<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>i was juss wondering on wut an easy major was in UCLA, so i can apply and get admitted. then i wud have more time to decide wut i want to do?</p>
<p>i thought nursing was, but some ppl say no</p>
<p>i juss want to get into the college, and my stats aren't so good, i mean they aren't bad, but they aren't great.</p>
<p>so if anyone knows what an easy major is to be admitted as, please respond to this thread. </p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>it doesnt matter...</p>
<p>just go undeclared. i got accepted as undeclared life science with no intention of doing any science, i chose it randomly</p>
<p>no i mean a major that is easy to get into, like what emmeline said</p>
<p>can i switch out of these majors easily?</p>
<p>and namaste, were ure stats good? cuz im pretty sure that its not easy getting in as undeclared.</p>
<p>are you talking about the other thread? if so... keep reading it until you see Ari's posts....</p>
<p>OP, have you bothered even reading the info on the ucla admission website? They say quite clearly that if you apply for a major in Letters & Science they don't consider your major. </p>
<p>And if you apply for any other major (engineering, fine arts, etc) the competition is more intense.</p>
<p>lies, lies, and more lies. </p>
<p>basically, there's no easy way in through your choice of major. actually, there's no easy way in at all. period.</p>
<p>just try your best though...anything can happen :)</p>
<p>the only thing that is impacted it engineering and (i think) theater or somethin. Aside from that EVERYTHING else will give you the SAME chance of getting admitted.</p>
<p>Concur. </p>
<p>Underwater basketweaving? Sounds more like a technical trade. Gee, the job possibilities one could get with a degree in that! xD</p>
<p>going in undeclared is a risk. If there are alot of undeclared applicatns and u are in competition with them you might have really hurt your chances. And I dont think there are that many majors that have lower standards ;/ and switching out of majors is a ***** becuase the UC's know students try getting into a weak program to simply switch into a stronger one</p>
<p>^ not true. Undeclared is fine. Think about it this way, if you are not applying to the engineering school, what you pick as "intended major" is not even looked at.</p>
<p>totally agree with bruinboy.</p>
<p>there is nothing wrong with being undeclared. now tell that to yourself 50 million times or until you get it.</p>
<p>also, switching out and into majors within CofL&S is usually not that difficult. So, yes, you can switch around within the school once you are admitted.</p>
<p>flong: Wrong. Being undeclared just puts you in the College of Letters and Science. Everyone in there is considered equally, so basically, applying to a major in L&S is the "easiest" way to get in, though. From there, it's easy to switch into majors within the L&S, but trying to get into Engineering from L&S will be harder.</p>
<p>just apply into a major that u want to pursue, it's as easy as that cuz then ur ecs and classes should hopefully support ur choice of major and may even boost ur chance because it shows dedication</p>
<p>Hey my counselor told me applying undeclared is a risk. She said u never know how many undeclared applicants your competing against and it might be easy to switch into majors but alot of the core classes ull need will be given first choice to those who applied in that specific major so you might have to spend more time at LA</p>
<p>choice of major is not considered in admissions if applying to college of letters
and sciences</p>
<p>choice of major is not considered in admissions if applying to college of letters and sciences</p>

<p>Not true. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you apply undeclared in L&S, you're gonna be competing with everyone else in the L&S (meaning that you'll be lumped in with the English, Biology, History, Undeclared - General, etc.). </p></li>
<li><p>UCLA has no preference system for granting first choice for core classes (which I assume are General Education) to those who applied to a specific major. The only "first choice" systems in place are priority sign-up times for upperclassmen/Regents Scholars/athletes, but you can sign up for any class during those times.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The only restricted classes to specific majors are specific classes (not GE) that the major requires for you to take.</p>
<p>Yes, flong. In other words, your counselor is w-r-o-n-g on both points :D</p>

<p>Applying undeclared puts you into the Letters of Science, unless you apply for 'Engineering Undeclared'. If you have an interest in engineering but are still discovering your interest, then you would apply for this major. It would not be hard to 'choose' your major within a couple quarters to a year if you fit into this category.</p>
<p>However, if you do not fall upon this path, you are able to switch from Undeclared to whatever you wish at any time, since you have already been admitted to the L&S.</p>
<p>It is just a matter of when you graduate. Some students choose undeclared, waste time and take the wrong classes for the major he/she selects, and therefore take 4+ years to graduate. </p>
<p>Whatever your major is does not affect your priority in enrollment, even in general courses.</p>
<p>If you go undeclare and take the wrong classes and then decide to go pre-med as a non-science major, that would be really really tough since the non science premed route takes some planning ahead.
Take classes that count for GEs when you have no idea what you are doing (i.e. Poly Sci. 40)</p>
