<p>i applied to UCs with less competitive major such as Environmental Science</p>
<p>and if i get in, im planning to switch to competitive major like Biology or Biochemistry</p>
<p>do u think i can switch my major right away when i entered freshman year?</p>
<p>majors do not influence ur chance of admission, unless it is impacted in which in that case you will not be able to switch to that impacted major...</p>
<p>I would advise you to choose the major or at least the department that you would like to study. The typical strategy of majoring in non-competitive field but switching to a competitive one e.g. engineering has one fault. Some UC's might not let you make a change stating that specific college or major is full. Being stuck in your Junior year of college would definitely not be fun. Therefore, I would advise you to apply to the major or at least to that department. However, thats just my opinion, I may be wrong...</p>
<p>It would help if you told us which UCs this is for...</p>
<p>I agree with the majority here. Apply to atleast the same department because once a major is full I don't think its possible to switch into it.</p>
<p>isnt Environmental Science and Biology in same department? science?</p>
<p>i checked all UC' majors
and Envi scinece adn biology are in the same college</p>
