Does UCI consider the alternate major you put down?

I applied to UCs as a transfer a year ago and did the TAG with UCI. I wanted to do the TAG and apply as Civil engineering but did not meet the requirement of Chem(2 semesters). My cc articulation and transfer officer called UCI admission counselor to ask about my issue and they told me to apply in as Mechanical Engineering(only requires 1 semester of chem) and then change it to Civil once I am there. This was told to me by an UCI admission counselor so It can’t be wrong. Don’t take my word just visit the campus and ask a counselor or email them. Don’t ask this kids at the counter. They know jack ****!! Some UCs have majors called impacted majors. those are the ones that you cannot changed in to. BTW I’m at UCSD now and like it very much. Just apply to UCSD too…
