<p>I've realized that I would have a better shot at many schools if I were to go undecided. My only issue with going undecided is that I would like to pursue Computer Science as an undergrad degree and i'm not sure if I could transfer into the school of engineering specific to that university later. For engineering undergrads do they not do GE requirements and go straight into the engineering cirriculum and is it possible for me to go one or even two years and then transfer into the school of engineering at that university? Looking for some guidance, much appreciated.</p>
<p>I think it varies by school, but usually you apply to the engineering school straight off because they follow a different curriculum. Most engineering schools have an “undecided engineering.” There are exceptions, of course. Some schools, like Stanford and USC, allow anyone to declare any major after matriculating.</p>
<p>“Engineering undeclared” may actually be more selective than most specific engineering majors for freshman admissions; this is generally thought to be the case at Berkeley.</p>
<p>However, Berkeley does have a Computer Science (L&S CS) major in its College of Letters and Science as well as an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) major in its College of Engineering. It is generally thought that applying to L&S undeclared is less selective for freshman admissions than applying to EECS; unlike a few L&S majors, L&S CS is not currently a capped major that requires one to apply to declare.</p>
