will the popularity of psychology in UC merced affect my chances of getting in

UC Merced doesn’t list major as a factor in its selection process page at First Year: Selection Process | Undergraduate Admissions. Some UCs that do for majors such as UCLA say " For the College of Letters and Science the applicant’s major is not considered during the review process" so I doubt Merced is more selective. Finally for Merced admitted students it looks like changing your major the summer before you start is automatically approved and you just need to fill out a form: Choose your start term. | Admitted Students

So for all those reasons it doesn’t seem like it matters what major you apply with but to know for sure you can ask Merced. Speak with an Advisor | Undergraduate Admissions
