<p>SO. If I applied for biochemistry
...and biology as my back up,
Is it possible to be accepted into UCSB but not for either my first or second major choice??
Cause I imagine both are tough to get into. But like I stated on a different post, I probably don't have as high of stats as others who may have declared the same major.
And I just want to be accepted.
Would I have had a better chance if I had said 'undeclared'?</p>
<p>Okay I’m sorry I realize this is almost a double post.
This is basically a response to Magicmonkey511
" On the uc app there are two slots for major choice. My friend was rejected from engineering but accepted for English. "</p>
<p>This scares me because both majors I selected my not be a perfect match with my borderline stats. So can they deny me both majors, but still grant me acceptance into the school?
I guess that’s really what I’m trying to ask…</p>
<p>^That’s because the College Of Engineering may discriminate based on major selection. All majors in the College Of Letters & Sciences, which you applied to, treat major selection equally.</p>

<p>SO what you’re saying is, it wouldn’t have mattered if I applied to the least impacted major in the College of Letters & Sciences, or the most impacted one…I would have equal chance if being accepted???</p>
<p>I believe so. I know someone said otherwise on the other post, but I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone having their second choice major selected unless their first choice was an Engineering or College of Creatives Studies selection. The College of Letters & Sciences uses pre-major GPA requirements to weed out students in competitive majors anyway.</p>
<p>according to UCSB, it does not make a difference in Letters & Science (where both your majors are).
