<li><p>I have the option to either write down my major as Economics or Pre-business/Undeclared for UCB. I have equal passion for both, and I really want to get accepted to Berkeley. Which major is more uncompetitive and would give me a higher chance of getting accepted?</p></li>
<li><p>I wrote down that I do 25 hours of extracurriculars weekly, and participate in an activity for approximately 26 weeks a year. Is this above average? </p></li>
<li><p>Whenever I visit the "test scores" section and click the "next" button, it tells me that I have to send in my test scores through an agency. I already did through collegeboard. Is it still normal to keep receiving this message?</p></li>
<li><p>If I fill out the "scholarship" section of the UC app, and not applying for financial aid, does this automatically put me in a position where I AM really applying for financial aid? (I don't want to.)</p></li>
</ol>
<p>ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! </p>

<li> If you are applying to the Berkeley College of Letters and Science, intended major does not affect admission selectivity, and all frosh entering the Berkeley College of Letters and Science enter as undeclared. Declaring the economics major requires completing the prerequisites with a 3.0 GPA, while the business major must be applied to in a competitive admission process. For either major, this is typically done in the second year.</li>

<p>Note: policies on admission by major and declaring or changing major differ in different divisions and campuses.</p>

<h1>3: You only need to have sent your scores to one UC. If one of them receives your scores, all of the campuses you applied to can see them. Just make sure to keep some kind of record that you did send them in before the deadline in case they somehow don’t make it.</h1>
<h1>4: If you didn’t file a FAFSA, I don’t think you’ll be considered for financial aid. But even if you are offered financial aid, you can choose not to accept it.</h1>
