<p>hi,</p>
<p>i was recently admitted to berkeley, but i put down the wrong major back in decemeber and when i got my acceptance letter, i found out i put down microbial biology, which i DON'T want. i sent an email to the admissions office asking if i could change to molecular biology in the college of l/s, but they said no and i would have to talk to the college of l/s to transfer. they said there was no guarantee of a transfer, and if i choose to accept admission, i could possibly be stuck in microbial biology forever. how hard/likely is it for me transfer into college of l/s? thanks.</p>
<p>omg! I'm in the same position (applied to the wrong college - not interested in CNR at ALL!!). Someone please help</p>
<p>Here's their change of college petition: Change</a> of College</p>
<p>Apparently you need to stay in your major for a semester before you're allowed to change. Even still, you should try to get an exception (no fun being in a major you don't even like for half a year)</p>
<p>Here's the email address for the letters and sciences adviser: <a href="mailto:kpasalns@berkeley.edu">kpasalns@berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>Even if you can't get an exception, I believe CNR has the same breadth requirements as L&S. Just work on those for your first semester until you can transfer. </p>

<p>That's just silly. People change majors all the time.</p>
<p>I was admitted to the CNR too. I thought it would be easy to transfer out if your interests change. Is it really this hard to change your major and transfer to another college?</p>
<p>MB lets you use AP credits to get out of breadth. I am also going to warn you, Microbial Biology and MCB (and ChemBio) are the hardest bio majors.</p>
