<p>:) I have heard from an honor counselor that it is better to have all the major pre-reqs done by Fall, 'cause university can look at them. I want to apply for UCSD CS major, and it is marked as impacted effective in FAll2015. I wonder how much will it affect if I leave three CS major pre-reqs to 2015SPRING? 'cause they won't have the chance to look at them before they make decision, isn't it? If is does matter, I might have an intense schedule for FALLl... :( </p>
<p>can someone answer my question?</p>
<p>@springtree I want to say it won’t affect your chances? I got into Cal with two pre-reqs in the spring and one in the summer. I applied to an impacted major (but the way Cal deals with that is by having a separate application for the major after you’ve transferred that you fill out during your first semester there). If you have a strong history of good grades, I don’t see why they wouldn’t expect for those grade trends to continue with the pre-reqs that they don’t have grades for yet.</p>
<p>Small amendment, I am actually taking three major per-requisites in the spring and one in the summer, so I really wouldn’t worry about not having all your pre-reqs done. It’s all about grade history and grade trends.</p>
<p>can i know what major are you by any chance?</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, even if you didn’t get into CS, you will be admitted as undeclared, or to other less popular major like Math-CS. I wouldn’t worry.</p>
<p>@springtree I’m a Public Health major! :)</p>
<p>@DrGoogle Does that mean I will need to put an alternate major on my general application?</p>
<p>I would think so because that is what UCSD does with freshman admissions.</p>
<p>Yeah, most UCs have the option of an alternate major. Look through the list carefully and find a major that you’d also be interested in if your first choice is full. I also applied to UCI this year and, if I remember correctly, they did let me mark down an alternate major.</p>
