1. In a college advising meeting, we were told that it is better to apply for a to the University of California system with a specific major, rather than apply undeclared. It seems that undeclared may have been a better way to apply.

<p>It depends. At Berkeley, frosh applicants to the College of Letters and Science are all treated as undeclared. In the College of Engineering, frosh applicants are admitted by specific majors; one of the majors is engineering undeclared, but it is usually one of the more selective majors in the College of Engineering. Other campuses may have different policies.</p>

<p>CSUs tend to admit by specific major for impacted majors (i.e. those which are at full capacity).</p>
