^^apparently, yes. You can’t do that for haas though. The reason is that even if you apply as an Econ major, you aren’t actually accepted into that major. You still have to go through the process of declaring Econ during your first semester there and if you weren’t able to register for the rest of your prereqs there is a probably chance you will get denied. So it makes sense that even if one is not admitted under the assumed major of Econ, they can still attempt to declare it within their first semester and as long as they have completed all of their prereqs with at least a 3.0 they should be able to declare. I did a little research in the UCB section and it looks like although Econ is impacted and they turn away a lot of people, it seems as though all of those people either got less than a 3.0 in their prereqs or attempted to declare too early.
