Data science is not at the point where you would need a direct admit and again the article linked with the policy has not been approved yet. For Fall 2023 admissions, Data science will probably not have any restrictions other than meeting the course requirements to declare.

If the new policy for CS in the College of L&S does get approved, you would have to list CS as your choice major and be admitted into that major as a Freshman. If you do not list CS as your major, then yes you cannot change into the CS major later.

I do not think you have anything missing in your application, the issue is that there are too many very qualified applicants for the spots available.

USC should be considered a Reach school also but your test scores and LOR’s would be heavily considered which is not something the UC’s will consider in their application review. Like I stated in my original post, look for schools that appreciate your strengths such as ACT score, LOR’s and EC’s.

When applying to the UC’s, make sure you spend time on the EC section explaining each in detail and the awards along with the Personal insight essays. This where you can differentiate yourself from the rest of the qualified applicants.
