UCLA Transfer Student Here

<p>Ahh but the chances of me getting an A in one of my classes is not very good. I got low Bs on my first two exams and I missed a quiz :confused: ill probably call admissions to make sure because I really wouldn’t want to submit my sir just to get reinsicded. Thanks though!</p>

<p>@Eshug- Yea history is impacted, but are you sure it was on the list of majors you could switch to? I just want to be 100% sure, because like levonid said, i would consider not attending UCLA if i can’t switch into history.</p>

<p>@jaynami they will probably just tell you the same thing to ‘maintain your gpa’ and not to have a ‘significant drop in academic performance’ but call to ease your mind.</p>

<p>@la4ever, levonid I didnt switch to history at orientation because i wasnt planning on switching at that point but I definitely know people who switched. and I really dont think it is impacted. Or I wouldnt have been able to swich in with ZERO pre reqs. But email the dept. to confirm what I am saying. Eboni Shaw is extremely knowledgeable and sooo friendly, so I would recommend emailing her.</p>

<p>@Eshug1- Thanks for all of the information :)</p>

<p>Do you know how hard it would be to switch to Biochem?</p>

<p>I’ll be sure to touch base with the History dept. somehow. Thanks for all your help Eshug!</p>

<p>Wait… So you can definitely switch to a non-impacted major even if you are missing pre-reqs?</p>

<p>@ deanzatransfer All i can say is I switched into history with zero pre reqs. So that would indicate that you could do it for all non-impacted majors, but I dont want to tell you that you definitely can when I dont know if some majors have restrictions. </p>

<p>@walleats I dont know much about biochem. Were you accepted to a different south campus (sciences) major?</p>

<p>I wanted to ask a similar question regarding changing my UCLA major. I got accepted as an Anthropology major but want to switch to Cognitive Science. I emailed the Psychology department & Psychology undergrad advisors to inform them that I wanted to change majors & of the 4 prerequisites that I am missing but will complete during the summer and first quarter at UCLA (I’m missing 2 calculus classes, the intro to programming (C++) course, & 1 logic based course) I am going to take the first calculus course this summer so it should help me get these prereqs out of the way as soon as possible. So do I just consult with a specific counselor on orientation day to make the major change? I really want to resolve this as soon as possible</p>

<p>I’d appreciate any feedback & advice immensely</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Hi Eshrug. I appreciate you answering all of our questions.
I was admitted yesterday as CC transfer History Major at UCLA.</p>

<p>I have a couple quick questions regarding the major.</p>

<p>I read on the ucla History webpage that it is a “capstone major” and requires that students complete some sort of thesis. Could you provide more details on this?</p>

<p>Also, could you talk a little bit about the class sizes in the upper division courses.</p>

<p>Lastly, I was accepted as “Pre-History”. Are there any additional requirements must be completed during your first quarter at UCLA in order to be fully “admitted” into the History major?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
