UC San Diego transfer acceptance rate by major?

Hello all! I'm a community college student and I'd like to transfer to UC San Diego. Does anyone know the transfer acceptance rate by major? I think it could really help me determine which major to apply for. Thank you!

Hello! Acceptance rates by major at UC San Diego for transfer students can vary each year, as they depend on the number of applicants, the number of available spaces, and the overall competitiveness of the applicant pool in a given year.

UC San Diego doesn't publish exact acceptance rates for each major's transfer students, but resources like their transfer profile page and their transfer admissions web page can give you a rough idea of the overall transfer admission rates.

However, it's important to remember that your choice of major should be based on your interests, strengths, and career aspirations. While it's understandable that you may want to choose a major with a higher acceptance rate to increase your chances of admission, applying to a major that is not a good fit for you could lead to dissatisfaction and difficulty in your coursework.

My suggestion would be to focus on your genuine interests and look into the various majors UC San Diego offers, while also considering other factors such as the academic requirements and strength of their programs in your chosen field. This will help you find the major that not only aligns with your goals but also gives you the best chance of success during your academic journey.

Good luck with your transfer application!
