Deciding between UCLA, UCSD, and UCR

I suspect it wouldn’t be difficult to change your major, if you even declare it the first year.

So much *** in one sentence! @Tshiknn managed to overlook “I have my associates” which means the option for “declare it the first year” is impossible without a time machine. The OP is a apparently a transfer student.

Second, @Tshiknn may be happy to share their intuition but as it turns out it is a miserable guide. Aside from the niggling detail that the OP didn’t ask about changing majors at UCLA but rather declaring a minor, it turns out that describing this as “not difficult” is at odds with what UCLA says

Please keep in mind it is a highly competitive program and automatic acceptance is not guaranteed.
□ You are required to have a cumulative UCLA GPA of at least a 3.2 and
□ A pre-requisite GPA of at least a 3.2.

The good news, should it be considered that, is that the OP’s grades earned at the CC will be used in calculating the GPA. If most or all of the required courses have been completed then the OP can calculate a GPA and contact the undergrad advisor at UCLA to see what the recent cutoff GPA has been.

The OP ought to do similar legwork to see what the requirements are at the other UCs
