<p>I know that Economics is impacted in UCB, so if I indicate a different L&S major on the transfer application will I be evaluated differently?</p>
<p>The simple answer is yes :). Econ is one of the harder majors to get into. If you have the prereqs done for another major that is not impacted, you can apply into that and switch into Econ (pending you have the Econ prereqs done) once you’re here. </p>
<p>It’s not the most honest way to get into college, but it’s a feasible option that students have.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if I did apply as econ wouldn’t my transfer admission be a better indicator of whether I can get into the major? I don’t want to switch schools then get rejected from econ</p>
