<p>Hey, i'm still waiting on UCI, but i just decided that i wanted to switch my preferred major that i put on my application, anthropology, with my alternate major, global cultures. will the fact that each major is at a different school, social science and humanities, changes my chances of acceptance? or is too late anyway to switch? or is it too to think im even going to get in?</p>
<p>thanks,</p>
<p>It's too late to switch, from some talk I heard on the board, you can apply for an inter-department transfer once you're accepted. What are your stats?</p>
<p>oorah is sooo wrong. i waited until i was accepted from UCSC and UCSB and then changed my major from philosophy to psychology. take note that psychology is an impacted major.</p>
<p>bsally619, Can you explain?</p>
<p>Did you tell them you wanted to change your major after you SIRed to one of the schools? Or did you just tell both schools you wanted to change majors?</p>
<p>Haha, sorry. I'm not really sure what you meant so I just wanted to clarify. :)</p>
<p>UCSB: i didnt accept my SIR yet and i had to email them to let them know that i wanted to change my major. and about a week later they informed me that ive successfully been admitted to their pre-psych major. to get into the actual psychology major i have to maintain at least a 2.75 in my major courses and take 2 upper division psych courses at UCSB then i can petition for full major. i accepted my SIR after changing my major.</p>
<p>UCSC: they have a page where you can change your major. i just selected psych and VOILA! major changed.</p>
<p>Ooh that's cool!</p>
<p>So where do you think you're going? I heard UCSB has a good psychology program?</p>
<p>sorry for the wrong info..</p>
<p>when i came to uci as a freshman, i was able to change my major online AFTER submitting SIR. i would guess for transfers its the same. I changed from chemical engineering to biomedical engineering so maybe it's online within the school?</p>
<p>I havent heard from UCI either. youre not the only one. Supposably theyre short on staff this year. </p>
<p>Im going to UCSB for sure. I didnt wait on UCI though it was my first choice before. I learned that theyre even with academics but UCSB obviously has a better social scene. UCI is also a commuter school and filled with bitter UCLA and UCB rejects. </p>
<p>UCSB does have a great psychology program not as great as UCLA or UCB though... :( oh well.</p>
<p>
UCI is also a commuter school and filled with bitter UCLA and UCB rejects.
</p>
<p>Thank you. See guys? I'm not just talking out of my ass...</p>
<p>"UCI is also a commuter school and filled with bitter UCLA and UCB rejects."</p>
<p>it's true. a lot of the people always mention so and so goes to LA and what not. or they talk about LA as if they go to the school. I think Cal and UCLA sweaters are just as popular as UCI ones. lol</p>
