i think you could change it to stats major if you have most of the pre-req done for it.

one thing I am pretty sure. You can not change major to BizEcon at UCLA after you have been admitted. For other majors, you need to go and check out their website.

ucla has a math major focused on actuarial science. I think that would be better suited for your interests. It's hard work becoming an actuary, and kinda boring BUT the pay is very good. Talk to/email some real people working in the field and ask them what it's like. You've continually got to study and pass a series of exams to make it in the field.

sunny767, at UCLA you will definitely be able to change to MCDB if you wish, at any time, even as a 4th year (so long as you will not be going over the unit cap).

carolqq, I don't believe stats is impacted, but it should be relatively easy to switch, as both biochem and stats are within the College of Letters & Science.

Actuarial work is math work, and there really isn't any way around that.
