<p>I'm not sure which major to go into of these two..both interest me, but what concerns me is how the career availability for both majors is, stability, and which major is easier to get into the top end UCs?</p>

<p>Though I often hear that jobs for EE majors are on the decline while BME jobs are on the increase over the next 10 years, but I don't know how true this is.</p>

<p>Also, do the SAT2 tests I've taken affect my admissions into the schools? Like I've taken Math and Bio SAT2's so would applying for a BME major be better than EE?</p>

<p>a lot of people are going into BME because of this demand.
So, tough Competition is possible.
And a graduate degree is needed to get a "good" job in the BME field which results in getting a better salary.</p>

<p>By getting a E E degree one can enter the BME field.
E E is broader.</p>

<p>Is EE not a very difficult major to get into with at the top UCs? Cal/LA/SD?</p>

<p>EECS is the most competitive of the "big" majors at Berkeley. I'd think ChemE is probably more competitive though.</p>

<p>I hardly see how EE is in decline. What may be true is that EE is not growing as fast as it used to be. But a decline? That's unlikely. </p>

<p>The major problem with BME is that while the jobs are projected to increase, the number of people who have been getting into the field has also increased tremendously. Hence, the competition for jobs is fierce.</p>
