<p>Thanks guys. I got this response from USC, which is basically everything you just told me. :D</p>
<p>Hello Zeehasham:</p>
<p>The letter is correct, you were admitted to USC (congratulations!) as an undeclared major. </p>
<p>I am sorry about the confusing wording. The way our admission process works at USC is that students are often considered for both their first and second choice majors AND undeclared at the University. </p>
<p>This is one of the ways that we try to make sure that any individual students chances of gaining admission to USC are not unduly effected simply because they apply to a particular major you shouldnt be changing your chances of getting in just because you are interested in a particular major.</p>
<p>Gaining admission was the hard part. As to pursuing engineering, we want to make sure you do well in the engineering classes. If you decide to attend USC and want to change your major to an engineering major, it is as simple as working with the engineering advisors (our office) during orientation: we will work with you to enroll in the correct engineering classes for the fall. At the end of the fall semester, if you have successfully completed those classes (eg., earn a 3.0 GPA overall and in the engineering/engineering related classes), then we can officially change your major to an engineering major.</p>
