<p>I’m applying as Communications and I chose Political Science for my backup. I thought I wasn’t allowed to choose one of the top 10 impacted majors for my backup? Will i be fine leaving it like this? Or would they just not even consider me for pol sci if i don’t get into communications? should i choose a less impacted major?</p>
<p>I thought you were applying to Haas? Anyways, it might be in your best interest to choose a less impacted major, however political science accepted a high percentage last year, 41%, so you may be fine with that regardless.</p>
<p>i am applying to haas.</p>
<p>You need to rate the level of importance of the institution vs major.
ie
would you prefer UCLA or Berkeley in a major that may not be what you want
or
the major you want but possibly at a “lower” UC.
The significant difference should be the deciding factor in you switching your 2nd major on your application. Two impacted majors wont help if what matters for you the most is name of institution.</p>
<p>are you allowed to choose a back up major at UCLA without TAP?</p>
<p>^No , they won’t consider an alt major without TAP.</p>
<p>They also released a notice to all CCCs and TAP Counselors to send out to TAP students that a bunch of impacted Majors could no longer be chosen as the alt major.</p>
<p>I guess the application site hasn’t been updated , but when they go over the apps , they’ll probably just cross it out , since TAP students have been informed about this alt major change.</p>
<p>Even if the system allows don’t do it!</p>
