Most schools I am applying as either EECS or Mechanical Engineering (But ME is my top choice overall with EECS as second). I read that EECS is the hardest to get into for Berkeley, but is ME equally as hard or just a little bit easier? I am leaning toward applying as Mechanical Engineering for Berkeley because it’s a bit easier, however I have some good personal experiences to write about for the personal statement for EECS so I was thinking of applying as that. But I don’t want to lose all my chance of getting into Berkeley if it was because I applied as EECS.
There is no public information about which is harder to be admitted to, although it is usually reputed that EECS is one of the hardest ones to get into (along with Engineering Undeclared).
But if your first choice of major is ME, why not just apply as ME?
@ucbalumnus On Berkeley’s engineering statistics it says 1,228 undergrads are admitted to EECS and 648 are admitted to ME 
which makes me want to apply EECS but still I’m iffy because EECS is supposed to be harder?
Honestly I am applying as ME because it’s the most broad engineering, But I’m leaning toward EECS because I like computers. I would be fine with either one 
so I want to apply to the easier one lol.
BioE, EECS, and Undeclared Engineering are much harder to get into than other engineering majors according to http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/12626_4.Freshmen%283%29.pdf
Simply because there are more admits to EECS than ME does not mean that EECS is easier to get admitted to, since EECS (particularly CS) has become hugely popular among students, so there could be more and stronger applicants applying to EECS than ME (although it is impossible to know for sure from public information).
