How hard it is to declare a ECE major at UCSD?

@Shelly9909 I would do yourself a favor and go to RPI. It’s not worth the stress of competing for a CS major here and math-cs is impacted (the GPA to get in is expected to go up). Keep in mind that cog sci is NOT a CS major. All the advising staff recommends you choose major over school (this includes the CSE, Cog Sci, and Math)
Even physics just declared they were capped starting next year.
That may be true that EE is less competitive, but I was at the CSE town hall meeting and they expect the number of people applying to get into the lottery to double because people under the current system were self-selecting out cause they knew their GPA was too low. So what’s going to happen? People are going to aim for CE in ECE or math-CS making it more competitive than it already is. (Cog Sci has already saw their numbers double in the past year from 500 to over 1000)
