Do you guys think that Anthro will become an “impacted” major soon at UCLA?

Looking at [Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2009 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof09_mjr.htm#TFT), it seems that all the majors with 300+ applicants have an impacted status (except Philo @303). Anthro had 374 applicants last year, and it’s been growing every year.

Just curious, because it seems odd that it is such a popular major, yet many people that I talk to have no idea what it is. “Oh, you study old people?”

It also makes me feel better for getting into UCLA as Anthro, because I didn’t realize how many other people applied. Anywho, congrats to those who are doing Anthro & to those who got into UCs!
