Advice from a UCB Student

<p>@ ucbalumnus: True, MCB is in L&S and considered more difficult than most social science and humanities majors. I meant to suggest that the majors weren’t extremely difficult, or at least aren’t generally considered so. </p>

<p>@newsoul: Right. You could not realistically apply and get into another major because you don’t have the prereqs done for other majors. In my instance, I had the prereqs done for psychology, and none were offered for philosophy at my CCC. However, I had taken a few philosophy courses. I decided to apply as a phil/psych double major because:</p>

<p>1) No phil prereqs offered at my CCC, therefore, they couldn’t penalize me for that.
2) Phil is easier to get into, and I had taken a few phil courses.
3) Wrote in double major in my PS because I was applying phil to UCB and psych to UCLA.</p>

<p>It worked out for me since I got into all the UC’s, but in retrospect, it was a ton of work just to improve my chances slightly. I would not recommend you doing this because you have a 3.91, which gives you a great shot at all the UC’s.</p>
