The info you want is at [Change of Major - UCLA Engineering](http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/change-of-majord)

What you are asking is a question with no perfect answer. On the one hand, should you be accepted into CS then you can graduate even if you get a C in every class (although your job prospects won’t be great). But to switch into CS will require a 3.5GPA. So maybe you could get that CS degree by applying for it now but would not be able to do so if you wait until you’re a UCLA student.

On the other hand, UCLA does not consider alternate majors, so if you apply for CS and don’t get in then you won’t be going to UCLA, even if you’d be willing to do it if you could study Econ.

So the choice (and consequences) are yours to ponder…
