I have been accepted to UCSD as a undeclared major. I applied for a CS major and CSE major as the alternated choice. Unfortunately, I did not get accept to neither. Many people have told that it is hard to declare a cs major. Plus, they now change the selecting process as a lottery thing. Thus, I don’t think it is rational for me to insist on doing a CSE major.

I have been considering a ECE major because the requirement for a ECE major seems pretty reasonable. My ap credit also can cover almost half of the screening classes. I am pretty good at Math&Science and have some level of programming skill, so I think I will do well in these classes. Yet, ECE capped major website only says they will accept whoever has the highest GPA until the class is filled. They did not mention the accepting rate.

Anyone @ UCSD can tell me more about the process? Or provide an insight about the difficult level of declaring a ECE major?

Thanks =)
