Should I change my major just to get into UCLA

The question you need to ask yourself is what’s more important, UCLA or getting a degree as a Psych major.
Once at UCLA, under a different major, you won’t be able to switch into Psych. If I’m not incorrect, Psych is one of the few departments you are not allowed to switch into once you transfer. Even if you don’t enter as a psych major, you’re still allowed to enroll in psych classes, permitted that there is space available in those courses. If you’re planning on going to graduate school for psych, you could technically end up taking enough psych classes as a non-psych major and end up having the equivalent of what would have been a major on your transcripts.
