Data science is a good alternate to CS.
UCSB students who are NOT currently CS majors can apply for the change of major application process once they complete the minimum requirements (specified below) for doing so.
https://cs.ucsb.edu/education/undergraduate/prospective-students
Due to the overwhelming number of UCSB students applying to change their major to Computer Science, meeting the minimum requirements offers only the possibility of being reviewed for acceptance into the department, and even high-achieving students should not expect admission into the major.

DS got waitlisted. His first major is ‘Computer Science’ and alternate major is ‘Data Science’.
Not sure if waitlist means for the first major or alternate major.
Any insights please?

For the waitlist, the student is waitlisted for their primary major however could be admitted off the waitlist in their alternate major also.

Both parents who went to UCSB are super thrilled but S23 would trade all his UC admits for UCSD. 
@GoldRush2 can we trade UCSB for UCSD admit?

I don’t think they will let anyone in for Comp Sci after the bloodbath I’ve seen in Freshman admissions. Better off going to a small private school and getting the BCS, I’m thinking.
