| The easiest major to get into UCLA with is the one you are the most interested in.
.....
Statistically speaking though anthropology seems to have a high admission rate for LA. http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prosp...Prof07_mjr.htm
check for yourself^^ | |

| anthropology and philosophy are pretty much identical in admissions rates.
i've met sooo many people at my CCC that are philosophy majors that took the same easy professor for all of the pre-req's. now that they're trying to transfer and switch to econ, psych, etc (some impacted major) when they get to UCLA, I get to tell them "No can do" and watch their faces explode.
it's called research, people. research. | |

| I was going to say. It is NOT easy or sometimes even possible to switch into an impacted major once you are admitted to UCLA. Not a wise thing to do. | |

| Considering that all majors within the college of Letters & Science at Berkeley enter undeclared, they are all equally challenging/easy to get into. The easiest college to get into is CNR, or the College of Natural Resources. | |

| It would be much easier if you gave a general ball park opinion on what you are interested in studying. | |

| I seemed to notice that alot of culture specific majors had few applicants and high admits such as south east asian studies slavic studies afro-american studies and the like. Maybe its the same with language majors. | |

| Does anyone have any idea on what the admittance rate is for rhetoric at UCB or any idea if it is a difficult major to get in for? Or know anyone who applied for rhetoric and their stats?
Also, what are the impacted majors at UCB?
Thanks in advance. :-) | |

| From what I know rhetoric is one of the easiest majors to get into at UCB. And I know several people whom have been admitted to UCB as rhetoric majors. The big plus to applying as rhetoric is that there are no major prerequisites that you have to take for it and it is in the humanities division. | |

| a couple of them were pretty low, around 3.4 gpa. However with that being said many of them had great ECs and they just did not just choose rhetoric because it was easy to get in, they chose it because they were debaters that had a background in that major. Also they are probably the exception not the rule. I would talk talk to a Berkeley representative about the rhetoric major for some real info. | |
