Say that you applied to electrical engineering under the School of Engineering and get rejected. Will UCLA consider you for other schools such as Letters and Science or will they only consider you for your alternate major?
Unless things have changed in the past few years, if you apply to Engineering as your first major and don’t get accepted, you will only be looked at if your alternate major is also in Engineering. Otherwise, it’s not considered.
^That is exactly right still, I checked on that before my student applied this year.
