Applying under an easier major at UCB/LA

Applying to College
1

<p>At Cal and UCLA I'm most interested in bioeng or biology, but I'm not sure if I want to go pre med or masters in bioe.. I'm on the border for admissions at both, and I really want to go to either one, so I see a few options.
A. Apply bioe to cal and ucla with biology as a back up at ucla.
-hardest admissions but most in line with my interests.
B. Apply biology to cal and the same as A to ucla.
- Better, but not by much, plus I don't know if ucla considers a secondary major in a different college
C. Apply undeclared to cal and biology to ucla with a secondary as undeclared
-best chance for admissions but puts me where I'd need to apply to coe and get great grades if that's what I want. This also makes me wonder if my biology related activities (internship researching, biology sat2, etc.) are downplayed applying undeclared.</p>

<p>Anyone have an opinion or insight?</p>

<p>If you are applying to L&S, your intended major will not matter; for L&S, bio and undeclared are the same for admissions purposes. If you are applying to Engineering, intended major does matter.</p>
