I was waitlisted at UC Irvine, and just got admitted. However, I got in as an Undeclared major and under the Department of Undergraduate Education.
I applied for the Business Administration major. I am confused as to what being Undeclared means and why I got in a different school.
I accepted an offer of admission to UC Davis, but Irvine was my top choice. Please help clarify!
Thanks.
UCI admits into the University first and then into the major. Since you were admitted Undeclared and not into your preferred major, if you want to attend UCI and major in Business Admin, you will have to take the pre-req courses and maintain a specific GPA to switch into that major. Even if you complete the required courses and maintain that GPA, you are not guaranteed there will be spots available. I suggest before accepting to contact the Business Admin department and ask their acceptance rate for internal transfers. This will give you better idea if it worth SIRing to UCI.
Students must meet BOTH requirements:
-2.70 GPA
-2.00 GPA for the quarter prior to changing major.
Students must complete ALL of the following requirements:
-Completion of Mathematics 2A-B
-Completion of Economics 20A-B or Management 4A-B
-Management 7, 30A, 30B
An average 3.00 GPA in all required management courses completed at the time of application.
Applications for change of majors will be processed quarterly. Please be advised that completion of the prerequisite courses does not guarantee admission into the major; space is very limited.
