[quote=spdrun]Also, can someone apply to a UC as a different prospective major, then change to engineering/CS? Nothing wrong with a bit of creative prevarication to get what one wants.[/quote]
That was difficult even 30+ years ago. UCSD’s engineering became an impacted major as early as the late 80s….and it looks like the official policy now is that a student can’t change to an impacted/capped major.
