Applying Engineering to Berkeley

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>So I'm not sure whether I should apply as an engineering major into Cal. </p>

<p>I don't really have a solid idea of what it is I want to major in, but engineering is appealing. I could apply undeclared L&S, and I would have a higher chance of being accepted that way, but it's incredibly difficult to transfer into the college of engineering. Transferring from COE to L&S is easy, however, which I could do if I decided engineering wasn't my thing. </p>

<p>I'm not worried about my test scores for engineering (2310 SAT), but my GPA is on the weak side by Cal COE standards (4.32 W, 3.68 UW, 4.13 UC GPA; though I am ranked fourth in my class out of 419). </p>

<p>Basically, would it be advisable to apply to Berkeley COE with the stuff I've described?</p>

<p>Which engineering major(s) are you interested in? Selectivity within the College of Engineering varies by major, but note that some engineering majors have similar L&S majors:</p>

<p>EECS – L&S CS (if you are interested in the CS side rather than the EE side)
IEOR – L&S ORMS
Engineering physics – L&S physics
Engineering math – L&S math or applied math</p>

<p>Bioengineering is the one I’ve considered most.</p>
