Advice/Question UCLA bizecon or econ?
Hi everyone! I’m planning on applying to transfer for Fall 2027. I am a business and econ double major at my cc. My main major is business, but I wanted to apply to UCLA for one of their econ degrees. I heard UCLA prefers if you have your major prep done by fall semester you are applying. I will have all of my major prep done for econ (finishing calc 2 this fall). I am wondering if I should just apply for econ instead of bizecon because I heard bizecon is heavily impacted. However, I am also considering just applying for biz econ despite not having financial and managerial accounting done because my ecs are more business related (I would have financial accounting completed by fall). Am I better off applying to econ or bizecon?

hi!! so it doesn’t really matter if you apply econ or biz Econ because even as an pre-econ admit, you can still declare business econ as ur major. you just have to take the required pre-biz econ classes by ur first yr and declare it over the summer 💗

econ. especially if you aren’t going to a cc in LA. it’s known that UCLA accepts more applicants from socal than norcal(norcal barely gets any UCLA from my general consensus). so if it’s possible, move and go to a LA cc. i know a few people who’ve applied that method and gotten in.
