Need help deciding on a major!

@Dunboyne, thanks for the advice! I completely understand what you’re saying and will take that into consideration. And yeah, that’s very true - my choice will most likely depend partly on what school I attend. I am applying to UCSD, UCD, and UCSB, and I’m still choosing between Berkeley or UCLA as my reach school to apply to. I know Berkeley has a good Econ program, but I wasn’t aware UCLA is ranked highly in it too. Does UCI have a good Econ program too?

Btw, since Econ is an impacted major at UCSD and Berkeley, does that mean my chances of acceptance are even lower? Would I have a higher chance if I apply to a non-impacted major and then switch to Econ later, if accepted?
