I would look for a student who has the major you are interested in and find out about their experience in getting into the prerequisite courses required for majors. My D is also a first year Sophmore (thanks to AP courses) but she has continued to be shut out of the introductory level courses of the major she had originally intended. It is one of the reasons so many UC students take longer than 4 years to complete their BS. Her advisor told her that she might not be able to get into her major’s prerequisites until the middle of her second year. This gets complicated because she also wants to study abroad during her junior year. End result - switching major to assure a timely graduation…will attempt to take original major classes when they become available to her. She has friends in different majors who have had no problem with thier course selections.
