<p>when you choose major for Jacobs school of engineering and get denied, do they consider you for the alternate majors? i know UCB and UCLA doesn't, but on the application, they say that engineers must choose an alternate out of enginnering realm, so does this mean that i will be given another chance based on the second major i choose for admission???</p>
<p>I'm curious about this too. And why don't UCLA do it, considering the fact they let you choose an alternate major?</p>
<p>I think UCSD considers you twice. At least that's what a UCSD representative who came to my school said.</p>
<p>I really want to be a CS major, and I also really want to go to UCLA (more so than I want to be a CS major), but I don't think I have much of a chance of getting in as a CS major while I think I do as something else. What should I do?</p>
<p>UCSD accepts you first. Then they rank you accordingly to the majors. Of course the impacted majors fill up first. You don't apply to jacobs school of engineering when you apply for UCSD, which is different from Berkeley. You apply to the school in general. EECS is an impacted major I believe, so it'll be one of the first to fill up.</p>
