I can tell you as an Econ & Acctg major that it’ll be quite a bit harder here than at Davis. Econ requirement into the major at Davis is a 2.0 GPA and not impacted from what I heard from my cousin at UCD now. Also UCD grants approximately 20% students As in classes such as Econ 1B, which he is taking now. However, at UCSB only the top 6% will be awarded with As, and there is a strict limit by the department. Also, if you’re under a 2.85 GPA at UCSB, you really won’t get into the major without appealing and the cutoff for appeals is that you must be +/- .01 or .1 GPA. I feel that if you’re not going into business or accounting, then you should pick the campus in which you feel most comfortable
