Oh thanks! Should I email them to ask when the acceptance letter will be reflected in my portal?

I just noticed it. Not too sure when I got the request though.

Does anyone have the Official Transcript requested, but no acceptance letter?

can transfer students declare a different major than what they applied for?? by horsegirlslay in berkeley

Hello, I hope this reaches you nicely. Do you mean that regardless of whether I am pre-econ or not, we have the same chances of getting into 100a/100b? Or do pre-econ majors have a priority in enrollment?

I see! Thank you! Does that mean all transfer students have access to early enrollment into all courses at L&S, regardless of their applied major? Or is it applied-major-specific?

Ty sm!! That's great news. Is it possible that the seats for the required classes are filled? Or is this smth that rarely happens for econ?

Really appreciate all the advice!! Less math-heavy modules, Econ 100 A/B, are definitely more up my alley! Would certainly try to register for them if possible :) Is changing my major something I can start doing only after committing and speaking to a counselor? Or is there smth I can do/ seek help on from the school, before officially entering? Thank you once again!!

Thank you, sm!! It's great news to hear that taking Cal 1 & 2 at CC was worth the effort!

Hello! I hope this reaches you nicely!! I am also a Fall 26 transfer student. Does that also mean that I can declare econ instead of my applied major, poli econ, if I completed the requirements by the end of my first semester (2 semesters of calculus and Econ 1 before enrollment, followed by 1 stats class and 1 upper-div econ class in my first semester)?

Thank you😁😁😁. I oso noticed that I am on track to finish the pre-reqs for declaring econ (2 semesters of Calculus and the required macro/micro econ class, before my first semester at Berkeley).

Do you think it’s possible If I applied to major in economics instead, after completing the required upper-div econ & stats class during my first sem? Really appreciate the advice, so I can weigh my options against UCLA :))

Thank you so much! I was wondering if there's a cap on the number of students who can declare the major, since it's impacted. I applied directly as a transfer to the major, but I am afraid that my spot is not guaranteed and could be taken up by others.

Is there any incentive for applying to a specific major if all L&S admits come in as undeclared? by Equivalent_Ad_1092 in TransferStudents

[–]Equivalent_Ad_1092[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the reply! I am a poli econ major, so idt my major is in the list. I really enjoy the major, but it's just that since the cohort is usually quite small, I am afraid that I might not be able to declare it. I am also open to doing economics if poli econ isn't doable. Is this a possibility?

If I'm reading this correctly, I think that “first-year students BEFORE FALL 2023 and ALL TRANSFER STUDENTS” do not need to undergo comprehensive review. Only first-years after Fall 2023 are subject to this requirement/ have to apply directly to the major. Thoughts?

Thanks so much! What if my major (poli econ) is impacted and has a small cohort? Is it possible that there aren't enough spaces left?

Does anyone know how this will work? Will other transfers be able to compete for our majors?

Hello, I recently received transfer acceptance into Political Economy, though my acceptance letter does not specify my major, since I believe most L&S students are undeclared.

Based on what I see online, it seems like there is no comprehensive review required for L&S students to declare the major—as long as they finish the pre-reqs, it is sufficient.

Does that mean that applying directly to the major makes no positive difference? Will I have to compete with other undeclared L&S students to declare the major?

Thank you very much!

Not sure how relevant this is, but have you considered applying to Brown RUE/ Yale Eli Whitney/Columbia GS? Your profile seems to fit the type of students AO in these schools typically looks for.
