<p>After reading many posts and many posts and looking at many official webpages, I have come to the conclusion that nobody has any solid proof that completing major preparation before the end of your Fall semester has any bearing on admissions. Sure it makes sense, but I’ve yet to find a place on UCLA or UCB’s website that clearly says that major preparation needs or should be completed by that time. I emailed UCLA admissions, they said completing major requirements by the end of Spring was fine. I don’t know how much more direct it can get than that. I’m not going to stress about it anymore.</p>
<p>This is one of the few times I’d LIKE to be wrong, though. So if someone has something official and concrete, thanks in advance for proving me wrong because I’ve been trying to find exact information on this for a while… :)</p>
