<p>@Gumbymom Thanks for the detailed answer. My senior year grades are on track (straight A’s so far). I just hope UC’s won’t portray me as a lazy person in freshmen year. I honestly worked hard throughout my years to improve my grades. I didn’t really know what was going on freshmen year (my middle school didn’t really prepare me and it hit me hard; but I’ve been doing much better.) I hope I still have a chance at UCSD, UCD and UCI. Sorry for many questions I just need to expand my knowledge about how UC’s work with GPA.</p>
<p>Also one more question if you don’t mind. I’m a little confused about majors playing a role in admissions. People say they do and others say they don’t. What’s the real answer? Also, would going in as a non-impacted major be easier to switch majors than to actually choose the impacted major to begin with? Thanks, this should be my last question. :)</p>
