What schools have Capped Majors in these California Schools?

Applying to College
1

Hi, Im looking at a bio related major which is apparently pretty competitive nowadays. I was wondering which of the schools in this list have capped majors meaning you may not change your major while at the school. I may want to apply into an easier major like psych so I could get into the school than transfer into something more bio related, let me know if thats a good idea or not

UC Davis
UCSB
UCSD
UCLA
UCSC
Uc Irvine
UC Berkeley
Cal Poly Slo
Cal Poly Pomona

Thanks!

UCSD has all Biological science majors as capped. If you cannot get a direct admit into the major, you can switch later but it could be very difficult so you should look at the requirements of switching into a capped major. UCSD also recommends you apply to a non-capped major as an alternate.

UCD’s Biological science majors are also impacted and again you need to check their policy about changing majors

Some of UCI’s Biological science majors are impacted such as Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Ecology/Evolutionary Biology

All majors at Cal Poly SLO are impacted.

These are the College of Science majors at CPP that are impacted:
Biology
Biotechnology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Environmental Biology
Kinesiology - Exercise Science

Someone told me there were some colleges that don’t let you switch out of your major. Thats mostly what I m scared of.
