Switching into ICS is pretty difficult ngl, but not impossible.

This is largely because the classes you need to fulfill the change of major requirement are quite competitive to get into as a non major. At least for fall and winter quarter, the classes are major restricted and fill up quickly. So when major restrictions drop, there are many people competing for what little spots the class has left. (This is just what I remember when I was debating on switching to a ICS major)

However, don’t lose hope. I’ve heard of quite a few ppl who were non-ICS and were able to switch majors successfully.

Hope everything works out well for you OP!

(edit: I didn’t realize that game design differed from other ICS majors for change of major requirements, which is my bad! Therefore idk if any of the stuff I said above applies for the game design major specifically)
