Hi! I been doing my UC application and it seems I come to a few problem along the way. Basically my major is Mechanical Engineering which is a IMPACTED MAJOR at UCSD. I don’t have a lot of hope to getting this of this major since my GPA is not very high.

So I just wanted to know:

Should I choose both of my major and alternate major to IMPACTED MAJORS so that if I am not going to get in either of the major they would declared me as Undeclared major so I would have better chance getting in my impacted major later on.

Or select a NON-IMPACTED Major so I would get in and then switch to IMPACTED MAJOR later.

I am not sure which one should I choose?

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
