<p>haha i applied bc i think i’ll have a better chance at getting in with that major</p>
<p>f you change your major, you need the approval of the dean of the major you want to change to, and it is by no means a sure thing …</p>
<p>yeah i know but English is still on my list of majors so i dont mind it (:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, that’s actually not true. Its pretty easy to change your major (assuming you don’t have a horrendous academic record). If you’re a current student, it requires you to fill out a form and for a counselor to briefly review it. It’s even easier if you’re a freshman.</p>
<p>Btw, as has been stated like a thousand times on this website and on the UC website, you’re not admitted based on major.</p>
