@Gumbymom @ElyStuart10 UCLA EE here! Gumby is mostly right. Major does not matter for L&S you are admitted to the school and are Pre-some major until you satisfy the Pre reqs with a certain GPA. For HSSEAS you are admitted directly to the major. Pro is you don’t have to worry about competing once you are admitted (Cs get degrees becomes partly true) con is it is much harder to get into engineering. HSSEAS requires the alt major to be in engineering and MAY consider it but usually if you don’t get your first choice you won’t get the alt. Also it is extremely hard to switch into engineering here. Spots open up only when people drop out and current HSSEAS students get a free one major switch and have higher precedence than L&S switching in.
