Loading ...Educated Nation reports on a groundbreaking new trend: students apply to a university as a certain major with the full intention of changing once accepted. The article argues that some colleges at UC Berkeley have less rigorous requirements (natural resources) than others (engineering). Of course, there are consequences for those too dumb to be able to transfer once accepted.
Numbers are provided, but it turns out demanding life decisions out of people who can’t decide what weekend party they’re going to attend makes the statistics fuzzy. Some people just have no fucking clue and change majors often.
E-Nation takes to the streets of Berkeley for an unscientific student body poll. In the striking journalistic effort to remain objective, the article remains inconclusive with some students agreeing that they use “backdoor admissions” to get in, and others not.
bq. “Speer’s friend, a current senior in high school, is applying to Berkeley as an electrical engineering major but plans to switch to a more selective major later on.”
Good luck with that one.
