<p>Hello..</p>

<p>I'm majoring in Economics and planning to transfer to UC Berkeley from CC.</p>

<p>I've seen many people who failed to be accepted this year</p>

<p>even though they have 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>Moreover, many people are accepted for next spring semester.</p>

<p>Lots of my friends recommend to transfer as other l&s major</p>

<p>because I could declare econ major as long as I appy for l&s major.</p>

<p>Is it true???</p>

<p>To me, it soulds like unfair..</p>

<p>Econ major is very competitive, and it is very hard to be accepted..</p>

<p>Is there any adventage to apply as econ major ???</p>

<p>are there actually many people who transfer to other l&s majors and declare econ major??</p>

<p>I really don't know what to do..T.T</p>

<p>Please give me some advice..</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t feel like its that competitive…but that might just be for continuing students who are already enrolled @ Berkeley.</p>
