Should I bother applying for any UC at this point?

Well, suppose you could just change majors and there is nothing anyone can do about it. That would be fine for a few years, but pretty soon, nobody would be applying to impacted majors with more stringent requirements. Everyone would come in undecided, and then switcheroo once they were in (or did you think you were the only one to contemplate this ‘loophole’?).

A place like MIT advertises that you can choose any major once admitted, but then admission is tough across the board to MIT. Do check it out. The internet is a good place to get ideas, but believe nothing without checking it out for yourself.

OOS get federal financial aid (such as Pell Grants). California taxpayers do not subsidize out-of-state applicants. Thus, the differential tuition between in-state and out-of-state, is not covered by any financial aid.
