On the document with the Accept/Deny - I saw that majors were listed. I’m confused now about the L&S acceptance. Does intended major play a part in acceptance to L&S or does it not? I was under the impression that everyone is essentially undeclared until junior year. And if you wanted to go CS you just complete the prereqs with a sufficient GPA then off you go.



Note that all of L&S is grouped together in that document, while in the CoE, the majors are listed in separate groups, since L&S does not admit by major (although essay consistency with intended major may influence the admissions reader), but CoE does. The majors for L&S applicants were listed because they were listed in the original postings.

Yes, frosh enter L&S undeclared. L&S CS majors can declare after completing the prerequisites with the needed GPA (currently 3.0).
