Transferring to Diff UC's under Diff Majors

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am applying to UCLA for Communications as my first option and Asian American Studies as my second.</p>

<p>I also want to apply to Berkeley too, just for the heck of it, but unfortunately Berkeley has a weak/different type of Comm department. So I decided to apply under English since it's a relatively safe choice (I love English, and I've taken several English/Literature-related courses so far).</p>

<p>Problem is: </p>

<p>How do I distinguish the two, if at all in Question 1 of the UC essays?
Should I relate my interest in both, focus on just one...?</p>

<p>You are in the semi-same boat as I am. I'm applying to Cal as a Rhetoric major, and everywhere else English..
Luckily, English and Communication are linked hand in hand, so you can always write an essay about your love of communicating thorugh the English language, or something like that. IT's kind of what I'm doing.</p>

<p>Now if you were English and Math, we might have a problem : )
Good Luck!</p>

<p>I think around page 3 it'll tell you if ur campus allows transfers/the frequency of interdepartmental transfers</p>

<p>BTW there's ALOT of other great info in there too.</p>

<p>In the application, they lets you put first and alternative major for EACH school. </p>

<p>And your statement can't be right, cuz what if someone wants to major in Business? Only Berkeley offers Business, so does that mean that person is only allowed to apply to Berkeley? :D</p>

<p>write about both...</p>

<p>if not, the one you focus on should be the one you want to do the most or the school you want to get into the most..</p>

<p>when i say write about both, i mean relate the two....that would be strong</p>

<p>i see thanks for the replies peoples</p>

<p>so what i'm understanding is that there isn't a way to get around the ONE essay for ALL schools format
basically i'm going to have to twist my essays to fit the different majors i'm going for.</p>
