SLO rarely considers alternate majors but since Dairy Science is not a competitive major, then it is possible they could accept her into that major if she does not get into Animal Science.

CPP does consider alternate majors and they will accept into a non-impacted major if there is room and the applicant meets that major EI threshold.

Neither school guarantees that the alternate majors will be considered in the application process but it does not hurt to select an alternate major.
