Importance of proposed majors

This is why it doesn’t matter:

UCSC has an enrollment system in which seniors, EOP, and DRC students enroll first. Then I think they let the froshies enroll next. After that, its soph and juniors.

The problem is that even though you are proposed and are eligible to enroll in a class, IT DOESN"T MEAN YOU WILL GET IN THE CLASS. The lower down on the food chain you are, the harder it can be to get into classes. THis is true for some but not all classes. A great example would be language classes.

For example, I am a politics major. During the priority period, only proposed majors may enroll. They want people who are actually politics majors to get in first. After the priority period is over, it’s pretty much open to the campus (if there is spots open). But again, even if you are proposed, it doesn’t mean you will get into a class.

That’s why you have to crash, and be determined to get into the class (I’m saying like staying in the class for 2-3 without knowing if you will get in). Usually by then the slackers have dropped, and there is space open.

Also, which college??!!
