I talked to a counselor for econ and I am sure its the same for poli-sci if you want to double major. Since you are not changing your major “You do not have to petition for a change of major” all you have to do is file the paperwork to be aloud to do a double major. Than you apply to Econ or Poli science and they look at you as an internal applicant ( ). She told me that they will look mainly at my pre-reqs, my UC GPA,
The below requirements to be admitted to the major as listed for transfer applicants on the ECON website.
and 1. A minimum 3.5 GPA in Econ 11 and 101 and a 3.3 cumulative UCLA GPA.
or
2. Have a minimum 3.3 GPA in Econ 11 and 101 and a 3.5 GPA in Econ 11, 101 and all Econ courses taken by the time Econ 101 is completed (must have Econ 11 as a prerequisite) and a 3.3 minimum cumulative UCLA GPA.
You have to take Econ 41 as well.

Also it can not hurt to try to change you major entirely to political science. Do not listen to anyone just right a compelling reason and they will consider it. They just do not want everyone applying to what is considered an easy major and when admitted changing it to a harder one. Makes sense right?
