UCLA and UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science - Declaring Major or not

[Cecelia1]

For anyone interested, Gumbymom has FABULOUS guides that cover this. I just re=read (links below.) but TLDR is UCLA does NOT consider majors within L&S for incoming freshmen:

Hello potential Bruins! It’s that time of year again as the UC application has now opened and submission starts October 1 through December 2 for this admissions cycle. I am @Gumbymom one of the two UC Forum Champions/Moderators. My Co-Forum Champion is @lkg4answers and we are knowledgeable on the increasingly complicated UC admissions process and hopefully we can help any prospective UC applicants with their questions. UCLA like all the UC’s are test blind and will use 13 areas of criteria to review Freshman applicants. Each campus will weight the various areas of criteria differently so one size does not fit all. The UC application website has plenty of information that can help determine if UCLA is a good option when applying. https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-freshman/how-applications-are-reviewed.html https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/ucla/freshman-admit-data.html [image]Undergraduate Admission [image] Fres…

and for Berkeley…well hard to say. Officially, Psych is not a High Demand major so it should not be a concern, but TBH I have my suspicions. Please correct me if I am being paranoid:
