Freshman grades UC's

<p>UC admissions readers will see all of your grades, even if the 9th grade ones are not included in GPAs that are calculated.</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>It really varies by campus as to whether major matters in frosh admissions.</p>

<p>In general, if a given major is more difficult to get into in frosh admissions, changing into that major later is likely to require a high GPA or competitive admission process, since the higher frosh admission selectivity is due to it being filled to capacity, which also makes it difficult to change into later.</p>
