This link may be helpful: Understanding your assigned major

I’m an international student who got accepted, but into the pre-sciences major instead of the ACMS major I applied for. Can anybody tell me the difference between these two?

409

If you did not get in, especially for comp sci, take a look at UW Tacoma. They have an excellent computer science program, are easier to get into, and are still taking applications. Great way to get a UW degree if you really want one.

I vistited the website but it was not very informative

411

all engineering students start as undeclared. There’s a process to enter the major after first year I believe
Congrats!

Yes, that particular link is aimed at Computer Science and Computer Engineering applicants who were assigned pre-sciences.

For you, I’d visit the ACMS major admission web page to look at how you would apply: Admissions | Applied and Computational Math Sciences Program (ACMS) | College of Arts and Sciences - University of Washington

You can also consider other majors. The Allen School has a list here of computing-related programs to for students to consider (both capacity constrained and unconstrained programs). Computing-Related Majors | Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering

So basically, you will ned to apply to whatever major you want after you get a certain number of credits. It’s not a guarentee you will be able to get the major you want. More info here: Admission to majors – Office of Admissions

418

how do I change my major

419

It depends because UW admits by major and each major has a different status. What did you get in with and what do you want to do now?

Is it hard to get in when it comes to economics?

421

It’s capacity constrained so you will have to apply as a current student. I don’t know how hard it is beyond that.

422

I wanted economics as my major. And I got in with pre social science.
